Verdi’s La traviata has figured on the repertoire of this opera house ever since its foundation, when the new company co-opted the production of Prague’s German Estates Theatre. It then served chiefly as a vehicle for guest-appearances by illustrious international singers, including among others the legendary Australian soprano, Nellie Melby (April 18, 1900). The first authentic new staging was mounted by the New German Theatre (today’s Prague State Opera) on November 9, 1919, under the baton of Georg Széll, followed by a string of further productions, in 1930, 1934, 1945, 1959, 1979, and most recently, on October 7, 1982, which was directed by Ladislav Štros, with sets designed by Vladimír Nývlt and costumes by Josef Jelínek. That production has since ranked alongside the Prague State Opera’s most successful titles, by the end of the 2005/2006 season reaching a total of 487 performances. The new staging will be taken care of by an international creative team headed by the French director, Arnaud Bernard, whose projects in recent years have included productions of, among others, the operas, Roméo et Juliette at Chicago, with Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu (1999); L’elisir d’amore at the Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, with Marcelo Alvarez (2001); Lakmé at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo; and Roméo et Juliette in Tokyo (2003); Luisa Miller at the Nationale Reise Opera in the Netherlands; Roméo et Juliette in Beijing; and Le Roi de Lahore in Venice (2004); and most recently, during the current season, La Bohème at the Arena of Verona. The production’s music direction was commissioned to the Italian conductor, Enrico Dovico, a permanent guest conductor of the Prague State Opera.

Singer, unique improviser, composer and conductor Bobby McFerrin is coming back to Prague.

It will happen on the occasion of releasing his new album VOCAbuLarieS. A concert of the all-round artist, whose performances are always a celebration of an unrestrained musical talent, will take place in the Congress Centre Praha (Prague) on 22nd April. During his second visit Bobby McFerrin will present a brand-new concept of vocal art VOCAbuLarieS, in which together with a choir assembled purely for this event he enters the world of gospels, soul and funk, naturally with a large space for improvisations. The new concert project VOCAbuLarieS stems from a freshly upcoming record with the same name, which will be released next March at the label of the Universal Jazz & Classics. The author of all the compositions is McFerrin himself, but on some of them he cooperated with composer and singer Roger Treece. Local artists will perform with McFerrin also in his second visit. A common performance with the domestic choir will be preceded by an intensive preparation – the audience can thus expect a “musical site-specific”.

Stadium Markéta used to be an athletic stadium, but because of frequent winds and bad weather conditions it was changed to a speedway stadium.

It is over 40 years now since the stadium was first used for speedway. It is the most famous one in the Czech Republic.

“Dangerously fascinating, frighteningly and sweetly infinite,” was how Friedrich Nietzsche characterized the opera, Tristan und Isolde, written by Richard Wagner to his own libretto between 1857 and 1859. He drew inspiration from the epic, Tristan und Isolt, by Gottfried von Strassburg (d. around 1210), who in his turn based it drew on an ancient Celtic legend. The first company to show interest in staging the work was the Court Opera in Vienna. At the end of a string of 70 harrowing rehearsals between 1862 and 1864, though, the work was declared unperformable. Only after the intercession of Wagner’s admirer, Ludwig II of Bavaria, did the premiere take place, at Munich, on June 10, 1865, under the baton of Hans von Bülow. The Prague State Opera building saw four previous productions of Tristan und Isolde, premiered on September 1, 1896, March 31, 1907, March 9, 1912 (by Alexander Zemlinsky), and June 21, 1934. All of these stagings were mounted by the then New German Theatre. This means the anticipated new production will return Tristan und Isolde under this roof after an absence of 76 years!
