Marysha is one of the most famous Czech theatrical plays, a true gem of the Naturalist drama. The iconic quotes about coffee, in the play used as a means of murder, have become part of the Czech popular culture.

Imagine you could create a new world from absolute nothingness. The kind of world you may dream about, safe, yet abounding in surprises and adventures. Our hero stands at the very beginning – with imagination and lily-white paper that can become anything. A new world arises from imagination, creativity and playfulness.

BroadwayWorld, the #1 online destination for Broadway, theatre and live entertainment news around the world, announced today the launch of its new special offers feature for regional listings worldwide.

This poetic story about a futile quest for the unachievable is embodied by figures of clowns incited by a magician – the Seducer – and a vision of the beautiful Venus, who takes on the forms of earthly women.

Jedna z Verdiho nejznámějších, nejromantičtějších a nejtragičtějších oper nastavuje již 170 let zrcadlo společnosti a její pokrytecké morálce. Smrtelně nemocná kurtizána Violetta Valéry brzy pochopí, že se své lásky k Alfredovi z důstojného rodu Germontů musí vzdát. Opouští ho, umírá v bídě – ale stále sní o štěstí opravdové lásky.

Antonín Dvořák’s Rusalka is a true gem of Czech opera, one that has won over audiences worldwide. Ardent melodies, both tender and dramatically extreme, the composer’s masterful work with musical motifs and full-blooded orchestration, as well as Jaroslav Kvapil’s fabulous libretto, evoking K. J. Erben’s simple yet immensely forcible ballads, make Rusalka a work of fascinating beauty addressing audiences of all ages.

Accordingly, the new production of the Mozart opera at the unique Estates Theatre is actually at variance with the long tradition - this time, an adaptation of Don Giovanni will be created by the Swedish-Norwegian stage director Alexander Mørk-Eidem in tandem with the German conductor and Mozart specialist Karsten Januschke.

Smetana and the librettist Karel Sabina masterfully mocked all those who expected the “national opera” to be an idyllic picture of the Czech countryside, with its inhabitants being virtuous and governed by high morals.

If we were to name the places at which Mozart in person premiered an opera of his and which still function as theatres, the one and only candidate in the world would be the Estates Theatre in Prague. The National Theatre Opera has proudly cherished this unique tradition for decades.

Figarova svatba je osudově spojena s Prahou. Přestože se světová premiéra opery konala ve Vídni, teprve v Praze zažila svůj první skutečný triumf, díky němuž divadelní impresário Bondini u Mozarta objednal operu určenou speciálně pro Prahu - tou byl později proslavený Don Giovanni.

The story, set in the countryside, ironically depicts the relationships within a family, and just as humorously treats the central problem of the parents – how to marry off all five of their daughters.

V Národním divadle v Praze se od října hraje nové zpracování komické opery Lazebník sevillský Gioachina Rossiniho. V tomto uvedení se můžete těšit na jedny z největších jmen současné české operní scény a lákavé cizojazyčné jméno nové sólistky opery.

Traditions. How to live, keep and pass them on, or rather abandon them in the name of the new world. This is the main theme of the new play by a young playwright Eliška Říhová, which will be performed in the world premiere at the New Stage. The theme presents multiple layers, from the viewpoint of the old and younger generations. One of them opens a seemingly simple situation.

The play, based upon a true story about a village girl married against her will, was repeatedly rejected by the dramaturgy of the National Theatre for reasons of excessive naturalism in the way the corrupt relationships among the characters and the circumstances of the murder were depicted.

The production, which will premiere at the National Theatre, requires from the performers expressive acting, brilliant dance technique and a profound sense for a range of emotional portrayal of the individual characters.

By means of depicting his encounters with his wife, father, friends and passers-by, the author paints a plastic picture of the mental landscape of a man who bears a host of autobiographical traits, yet may be identified with by everyone who is or plans to be a father.

Po povedené pražské návštěvě Divadla J. K. Tyla v rámci Festivalu Opera jsme oslovili divadlo za účelem návštěvy jejich domovské scény. Volba padla na klasický muzikál My Fair Lady. Vyplatí se výlet z Prahy na Novou scénu plzeňského divadla?

The performance is inspired by selected short stories – The Pit and the Pendulum, Hop-Frog and The Masque of the Red Death, which form the basic dramaturgic structure and are interconnected with a series of atmospheres and messages as varied as Poe’s work.
