The authority of Prague Castle takes the liberty to announce that the exhibition “Cartier at Prague Castle – the Power of Style” will be open in the riding hall Jízdárna at Prague Castle from 9th July, 2010. It will present exceptional jewellery, watches and luxurious objects created by the Maison Cartier.

The riding hall at Prague Castle will thus, after the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the British Museum in London and other renowned exhibition halls in Paris (Le Petit Palais), Berlin (the Vitra Design Museum), Moscow (the Kremlin Museum), Tokyo (the National Museum) or nowadays in Beijing (the palace Museum in the heart of the Forbidden City), become another place where visitors from all over the world will have an opportunity to acquaint themselves with products of the company Cartier from 160 years of its existence.

The exhibition will offer to the visitors in the form of a fascinating and inspiring way a unique regard at the treasures of the royal jeweller. It will show the influences which led to creation of the pieces of art and also original archive materials and biographic stories of their well-known owners.

The opera is based on an American writer’s novel, written according to a true event. The composer found everything he needed in the story of Cio-Cio-San’s unhappy love – a sentimental story, sharp plot contrasts, exotic setting, action and tenderness. The spiritual background of the opera is the meeting of two cultures – in the character of Pinkerton (as the cynical representative of the superior white race) and a young Japanese girl. The music of Madam Butterfly shows great mastery in giving a true picture of the atmosphere and poetry of the orient, even though it is borne by Puccini’s own harmonious devices.

The final decade of the 19th century witnessed the emergence of new themes in the world of Italian opera, inspired by the realistic literary production of the period. Having shed the limitations of Romantic idealization, Emile Zola’s naturalistic writing aspired to portraying the world with all its dark sides and suffering, an approach which had its parallel in opera in Verismo, a movement characterized by emphasis on subjects dominated by passions, and plots climaxing more often than not with violent, tragic endings. Ranking among the most brilliant manifestations of Verismo are Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, La bohème, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly. The book by Paris artist and author Henry Murger, Scènes de la vie de bohème, first published in 1851, was exceptionally successful, and Puccini became immediately aware of its immense dramatic potential. The moving story of love between the poet, Rodolfo, and Mimi, a tender young woman too delicate to be able to enjoy a long life, combined with a story of friendship of four young artists at Montmartre, was indeed an ideal theme for an opera. The libretto was supplied by the tandem of leading Verismo opera writers, Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, with whom the composer had first collaborated on Manon Lescaut, and whose services he was yet to seek, after La bohème, also for Tosca and Madama Butterfly. La bohème was premiered at Turin’s Teatro Regio, on February 1, 1896, with Arturo Toscanini conducting. The work’s seeming lightness, standing in stark contrast to the then still dominant Wagnerian style, at first confused the audience and critics alike, and the first night passed to cool reception. Two months later, however, its presentation at Palermo was already a triumph. In this opera – in the same way as subsequently in Madama Butterfly or Turandot – Puccini gave proof of his mastery at capturing local colour in music; Debussy reportedly said he didn’t know of anyone who would have achieved a more fitting musical portrayal of Paris in those days than did Puccini.

 The story of Carmen, a passionate Gipsy whose love can never be won for good and whose flighty life ends at the hand of a spurned lover, the soldier Don José, has captivated audiences worldwide for decades. Carmen is an opera abounding in sensuous and sultry melodies, which the stage director Jozef Bednárik has succeeded in shaping into a magnificent theatrical spectacle.
