Who doesn't know the legendary warrior King Arthur? And the mythical castle of Camelot, where the Knights of the Round Table gathered to unite a divided Britain and fight against enemies and finally set out together to find the Holy Grail? We all know this legend. But perhaps the reality was a little different… The comedy group Monty Python was formed in an Indian restaurant in Hampstead, London, in May 1969, when five Britons and one American decided to join forces and create a comedy series for the BBC. Thus was born Monty Python's Flying Circus, a series full of sketches, absurd situations and supremely British humor; it aired for 4 seasons from 1969-1974 and has a total of 45 episodes. In addition to live shows, the "Pythons" then ventured into feature films, among others, the most famous of which are The Meaning of Life (1983), Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1974).

Ferda the Ant – all kinds of work! You can easily recognize him, he has a red scarf with black polka dots around his neck, he is friends with Ladybug and the Bug. He is always in a good mood and knows how to deal with everything. The ideal hero of a children's opera. The iconic character from Ondřej Sekora's cartoons with stories from the beetle kingdom inspired the Brno composer and conductor Evžen Zámečník (1939-2018) to, as he himself said, play an opera for young and old, which had its very successful world premiere in 1977 at the Brno Opera. The two-act opera will initially introduce children to how such an opera works and then just start playing. Ferda and everyone go to the meadow for a morning warm-up, accompanied by a drunken bumblebee. Ferda helps Cricket fix his TV so he can watch hockey. The Bag Bug organizes a performance at the swimming pool, and finally Ferda flies home in a spider web airship.

At the beginning was a short novella by the French writer Prosper Merimée about Don José, who deserted the army due to a foolish passion for a wild gypsy woman, became a smuggler and a murderer. Carmen, directed by Tomáš Pilar, returns to the original story and reveals additional layers of individual characters - the characters here are mainly people who came from completely different backgrounds. It is not just about Carmen's fleeting and unbridled love, which the jealous José cannot cope with. It is a clash of two worlds - the orderly, neat world of José and Micaëla, bound by predetermined rules, and the world of gypsies and smugglers living from day to day, without laws and controlled by momentary impulses. Their worlds suddenly intersect, but this difference causes tension and a clash that leads to the complete destruction of both of them. Neither of them is able to prevent it, because neither is willing or able to back down.

The Jackal Years is set in Prague's Dejvice in the late 1950s, living peacefully in its "small town" way in the shadow of the red star at the top of the International Hotel. One day, a young man named Bejby bursts into the world of parents living with the everyday worries of early socialism and their children, whose sense of the "outside world" is determined by the exotic contents of the hotel's trash cans. The innocent dustman causes a stir with his eccentric clothing and passion for "unknown" rock and roll rhythms; the youth are thrilled and the parents despair. Bejby's appearance, amplified in the story by the rock and roll hits of Ivan Hlas, which have now become popular (such as Jednu mi fotr požiadě, Na kolena or Rock'n'roll pro Beethovena), thus marks a key turning point in the lives of a generation of boys. The popular story of dreaming about a different, better world beyond the limits of a desperately gray reality appears on the stage of the Music Stage in our original production and musical adaptation. It is directed by Stanislav Slovák.

The personality and work of Franz Kafka have inspired and provoked the expression of creators of many artistic genres, literary scholars and experts, as well as the general reading public, not only in the period of increased interest around the centenary of the writer's death. His work has gained immense popularity and recognition, and his stories, full of absurdity and existential questions, have influenced modern literature and film. Kafka is today considered one of the most important writers of the 20th century, and his work and life remain a source of inspiration and exploration for generations of readers, literary critics and artists across genres.

Szidi Tobias sings from the heart what is both expressed and hidden in the words of her husband Petr Lipovský. As she says about herself: "At concerts, I am myself and the team I want to be. Hymns and psalms about love, hope and joy. The one who understands gives us the most." In the music of Milan Vyskočáni, there is a playfulness of melodic transformations and a surprising diversity of genres. Blues, folk, jazz and chanson. Jewish crying, gypsy laughter, Hungarian passion and tenderness. The composition of music is a challenge for the band, which holds them together not only in the notes, but also in the energizing joy of playing together for many years. For decades, they traveled together throughout Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia. They went to their fans from Karlovy Vary to Kráľovský Chlmec to bring people together, to find ancient truths in the words of Petr Lipovský at concerts, to hear the diverse music of Milan Vyskočáni and the soulful singing of Szidi. Lyrics and music are what hold together "like water to flour."
