They revived it under the new name PROGRES 2 in 1978, when for the first time they presented the experimental audiovisual project Dialogue with the Universe (the first Czechoslovak rock opera). They continued in similar demanding projects on other albums (Třetí kniha junglí, Mozek, Zmena).

La bohème

02/03/25, 17:00 / Janáčkovo divadlo (Janáček Theatre)

Cheerful is the life of an artist in a mansard in the Latin Quarter. It doesn't matter that it's not for rent, it's snowing outside, and instead of coal, a novel is burning in the stove. Rudolf, Marcello and Collin always manage somehow. But what confuses them is love. Marcello worries about the fickle and capricious Musetta, Rudof and the seamstress Mimi seem to be made for each other, but even here the idyll does not last long. Puccini's La bohème, inspired by the French writer Henri Murger's novel La Vie de bohème and the life of Parisian students and artists in the mid-19th century, became one of the most popular operas, quite rightly. Even though the composer was initially reluctant to set the subject to music, he created a work full of joy and sadness, and the whirlwind of hidden emotions in the music will not leave any of the listeners cold. Thanks to his experience from his studies at the conservatory, when he himself experienced similar situations to his opera companions, Puccini painted an impressive and believable picture of a famous Parisian district populated by diverse characters.

conductor Patrik Červák

Do you like flipping through the calendar? Do you ever dream while looking into it and imagine what happened on that day exactly 100, 150, 200... years ago? Do you enjoy anniversaries, preferably round ones, and holidays? We do, and accordingly we have also prepared a cycle of family concerts in the 2024/2025 season. We will remember important anniversaries of premieres of compositions, births of composers, musical events, as well as holidays and so on, which are linked to the respective period in which the concert is taking place. The main dramaturg (the one who chooses the compositions) is therefore time. And you will be a bit of one, too, because we will give you the opportunity to choose one song for each concert - democratically, of course. Come create, listen and have fun with us.

WILL VINSON & AARON PARKS

For his needs, they adapted their older warehouse by and supplement the concert program with classic jazz material, which, however, they present with a highly personal, original contribution.
