DVA (Jan Kratochvíl and Barbora Ungerová) have found their place on the Czech and international scene over the past 18 years. The band transcends the boundaries of established musical genres and literally speaks its own language, which only they understand, yet they have managed to gain many fans all over the world.

Perhaps none of the participants in the Venetian premiere, which was a devastating fiasco, believed that they had just witnessed the birth of one of the most popular and most performed Italian operas. Verdi found a theme close to him in the novel about the love of the courtesan Violetta and Alfredo, which is not desired by his father or society. He knew the setting well – Paris, a city full of hustle and bustle, was never his favorite, and the tragic story reminded him of his own life experience. For years he had lived in a free union with the soprano Giuseppina Strepponi and felt firsthand the society's opposition to the "illegal" relationship. His personal experience undoubtedly enhanced the understanding and compassion for the main heroine, which permeate the entire opera... The clear lyrical music, where Italian bel canto is closely combined with dramatic expression, added poignancy to the tragic love story of the famous Parisian courtesan, thus giving rise to an opera evergreen.

That they sit nicely on chairs at concerts? That they are not allowed to laugh and sing at them? That classical music is not for small children? But no way! This does not apply to our chamber family afternoons, intended for children aged 3–8 and their parents who have not yet forgotten how to play! Play together with the philharmonic orchestra, ask questions during the concert, sing, dance. Everything is allowed. Without barriers and inhibitions, with music among us. Barbara Tolarová violin, Jan Bělohlávek, violin David Křivský, viola Iva Wiesnerová cello.

Moderated by Kristýna Drášilová and Magdalena Dostálová.

Shai Maestro showed extraordinary musical talent from an early age, and it is no wonder that at the age of fifteen he received a full scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, which is not at all common at that age. He soon became part of the international jazz scene, where he drew attention primarily as a member of the trio of double bassist Avishai Cohen, with whom he played for five years and recorded four albums. The drummer of the trio was the equally famous Mark Guiliana. This experience provided the Maestro not only with invaluable concert and studio training, which helped him enter the consciousness of jazz audiences around the world, but also helped him define his own musical vision.

This creator of productions valued for their dramatic grasp, poetics and artistic refinement, returns to Janáček's operatic work to expand his Janáček productions with a sixth opera created especially for Janáček's opera NdB.

Director David Radok and his Rusalka as a fateful drama about unfulfilled desires and human failure, about the contradictory conflict between love and erotic desire, a drama about the sinful human soul. Since its creation, Dvořák's Rusalka has been one of the most beloved and performed Czech operas, not only thanks to its beautiful and unique music, but also to the poetic and timeless libretto by Jaroslav Kvapil, which hides endless symbolism. The theme is perfect for David Radok and a multi-layered production full of strong emotions. David Radok's scenography is based on the concept of Rusalka by scenographer Lars-Ake Thessman, presented at GöteborgsOperan in 2012.
