THE NATIONAL MORAVIAN - SILESIAN THEATRE

The most popular operetta in the Czech Republic.

The most popular operetta in the Czech Republic tells a simple story about a girl who wants to change a man and lead him to the altar. Around 180 different productions of this work by Oskar Nedbal had been staged by professional and amateur companies until the World War II. After that 61 more productions have been added, seven of which were staged in Ostrava. Polish Blood was written respecting the rules of operetta strictly following the traditional structure. The artistic director of the operetta and musical company, Gabriela Petráková, was therefore thinking about a way of approaching this well-known operetta in the context of the 21^st century. But in the end the production team of the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre decided not to go against the genre but on the contrary they went all the way to present a true operetta.

The new production has thus received the subheading WE PLAY A CLASSICAL OPERETTA! Expect everything you can plus something extra. Beautiful costumes, humorous situations, acting and musical parts, but also the exaggeration...
