Janáček Opera NdB orchestra in the lead role! During the performance, the opera orchestra hides in the so-called hole or orchestra pit. Now we have an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy it on its own and find out how important a role it plays in an opera performance. How about trying to conduct it or play with it. Take a closer look at the opera house! Take a Step behind the curtain with us. A program intended for all inquisitive people, young and old, who want to learn something new from the world of opera theater.

We're all about playing bluegrass, especially in G, fast and loud. We do it because we enjoy it - and there are those who claim that it shows in us. The repertoire consists of melodies taken from American bluegrass and newgrass bands, but we also like to play classic country hits or songs from the repertoire of Czech rock and blues musicians. Since our English is not the most refined, and we are closer to a Moravian cellar than to a prairie with blue grass, we use Czech texts by our "court" lyricists Richard Málk, Richard Lukes, Petra Švecová and others for the English songs.

Premiere.

Vráťa Hošek returns to Melodka, this time with his band Vadný Hrošík!

Do not test relationships, you risk that your girlfriend devotes her feelings to someone else or Mozart full of eroticism on the stage of the Mahen Theater. The complex relationships between men and women await you through the eyes of the young director Anna Petrželková. That's how they all are, or The School of Lovers, that's the title of the third opera, which was created from the artistic partnership of librettist Lorenzo da Ponte and composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a story about a seemingly harmless bet on female fidelity. But nothing is ever black and white in human relationships, and this is especially true in this opera. Mozart actually followed up on the previous works Don Giovanni and The Marriage of Figaro, which are difficult to put into a precise box - they always give us a mischievous smile in the middle of the drama, and on the contrary, tears and anger are rarely hidden behind the laughter.

The hopes and thoughts of the entire kingdom are now attached to her, and it is up to the young royals to gradually go out into the world and try to get living water and save the life of the dying king.

The leading Czech alternative band První hoře, which is considered to be among the pioneers of progressive or avant-garde rock, releases its seventh regular album "Achtung, Sultan!" on the Indies Scope label, and at the same time celebrates 25 years on the scene! The album is a single journey from typical heavily alternative compositions to straightforward metal burners, punk rockers to lyrical, brooding songs that cannot be missing from any of the band's records. It also remains a typical and unmistakable sound, which combines the sound of an accordion with sharp guitars, frenetic drums with a piano and peppery electronics.

Hentai Corporation is a Czech music group from Prague, founded in 2005, which ranks itself between the styles of thrash metal and rock 'n' roll. The band stands out with its distinctive and spontaneous performances, its fresh instrumental lines and the very distinctive and spontaneous vocals of Radek Škarohlid. During concerts, they often rub shoulders with popular figures of Czech show business, and often speak their opinion out loud.

Hailing from the US and the UK, Strangelove – The DEPECHE MODE Experience delivers a perfect concert that takes listeners back in time and touches on several key points in Depeche Mode's 45-year career. Songs from the entire canon of more than fifty Depeche Mode chart-topping hits are lovingly recreated and have the atmosphere and youthful energy of a classic-era DM arena concert. No detail of STRANGELOVE's presentation was left out; and stage decorations and costume changes during the show reflect different eras of Depeche Mode's history. Written and recorded in London and Berlin in 1985 and released in early 1986, Depeche Mode's seminal album Black Celebration is celebrated for its dark, innovative sound and profound influence on the electronic and alternative music scene. The album's rich, alternately atmospheric and industrial tones, along with introspective lyrics, helped define the spirit of the 80s and continue to inspire generations of music lovers.

Her artistic career resembles some "fairytale" biographies. Zuzana Navarová discovered her on the street in 1993, and for three days she sang in the sanctuary of Czech singers, in Prague's Lucern. A few weeks later, she triumphed here as the "opener" of the famous American singer-songwriter Susanne Vega, and six years later she had the same honor at a Mike Oldfield concert. Since then, she has released a number of very successful solo albums that break sales records without any advertising, won several Golden Angels and also scored in the Golden Nightingale poll. Thanks to its uniqueness and original songs, drawing primarily from the Czech tradition, it also attracted audiences abroad, for example in Poland and France. Radůza can accompany herself on several musical instruments, her singing thunders, but she also gently tells touching stories.

horror musical comedy

A mysterious gloomy house in seclusion somewhere outside the city near a cemetery. Here lives the rather peculiar Addams family, whose members delight in creepy and morbid humor. Their favorite color is black and they consider death to be the most beautiful thing in life. However, the Addams family's day-to-day terrifying routine changes drastically when young Wednesday brings her new friend Lucas. What more? Lucas's parents are also scheduled to visit this demonic household, and the love-struck Wednesday demands that her relatives behave normally. Like normal people - that is, completely different from what they are used to. At a dinner together, where there are a lot of awkward exits, Wednesday finally, in order to calm the situation, announces that she and Lucas are getting married, which only really shakes everyone...

The story of visionary creativity that changed the way women dress. Coco Chanel as fearlessness, ferocity and risk, as well as taste, philosophy and brand. Contemporary ballet by Mário Radačovský about a woman who fundamentally influenced the world of fashion.

“Manon is a heroine I believe in and therefore cannot fail to win the hearts of the audience. Why couldn't there be two operas about Manon? A woman like Manon can have more than one lover. Massenet feels her like a Frenchman, with powder and minuets. I will feel it like an Italian, with a desperate passion," declared Puccini determinedly, when his publisher tried to talk him out of composing an opera on a theme that had already been set to music. And he did well, because Manon Lescaut has been one of his great successes since its premiere in Turin in 1893. He kept what he promised and offered his audience passion, despair and hope that overcomes even the tragic end of the main character. After all, love never dies.
