PERFORMANCES AND DATES

JUNE 6, AIDA by Verdi
Verdi endowed the story of the Ethiopian princess Aida, imprisoned as a slave at the court of Egyptian pharaohs and living out her tragic amorous relationship to an Egyptian chieftain, with fervent music. He created a musical drama full of fairy-tale fantasy yet at the same time realistically convincing. Aida became one of the most renowned opera works ever.

JULY11, DON GIOVANNI by Mozart
The Estates Theatre host performances of the legendary Don Giovanni production directed by Vaclav Kaslik, which received its premiere in 1969. The sets, designed by Josef Svoboda, inventively encompass the architectural elements of the auditorium itself, integrating the proscenium boxes as the main component of the scenery, and thus capitalising on the fact that the Estates Theatre was the venue of the world premiere of the Opera of Opera. The opening night, on 29 October 1787, was conducted by the composer himself. The opera will be performed in the original Italian, with Czech and English subtitles.

AUGUST 29, LA TRAVIATA by Giuseppe Verdi
This staging of La Traviatta is one of the Prague State Opera´s most popular productions. In this work, based on the novel La Dame aux camelias by A. Dumas Jr., Verdi created the first major opera that deals with contemporary social issues.

SEPTEMBER 19, RUSALKA by Dvorak
A true gem of Czech opera, one that has won over audiences worldwide. The composer’s ardent melodies, both tender and dramatically extreme, his masterful work with musical motifs and full-blooded orchestration, as well as Jaroslav Kvapil’s fairy-tale libretto, evoking Erben’s immensely forcible ballads, make Rusalka a work of fascinating beauty addressing audiences of all ages. Rusalka is customary deemed a “mere” fairy-tale. To be sure, there is no doubt that the fantastic story and the characters of the nymphs, water goblin or the witch are of a fairy-tale nature, yet in its fairy-tale scenes

OCTOBER 10, CARMEN by Bizet
The opera audiences all over the world have been captivated by the tragic story of Carmen, its psychological insight, colourful Spanish setting and above all Bizet's melodically inventive and poignant music for more than 125 years.

NOVEMBER 29, ONEGIN (Ballet)
John Crankos ballet based on Alexander Pushkin’s novel. The Czech National Ballet is about to reinclude in its repertoire a true gem among narrative dramatic ballets – Onegin. In one of his major works, the globally celebrated choreographer John Cranko brought to perfection his extraordinary art of telling stories through dance. By reviving this masterpiece, the Czech National Ballet has linked up to the trend of staging Crankos creations.
