🇨🇿 Young opera friend from Vienna, Berlin and Munich met at the to enjoy Smetana’s last opera Čertova stěna & Dvořák‘s Jakobín on the Pentecost weekend. We‘re grateful that artistic director Jiří Heřman warmly welcomed our group backstage and explained his staging concept to us. Dramaturge Patricie Částková gave us detailed introductions for these rare Czech operas, thank you! ☀️
