OVERVIEW

Conducted by: Robert Jindra

Bedřich Smetana, Antonín Dvořák, Leoš Janáček, Bohuslav Martinů, and many others are significant composers recognized in the world as ‘Czech’. The year of their anniversaries ends with number four. Therefore, years with number four at the end are always regarded as the year of Czech music. However, the celebration is not exclusively focused on these composers. Many others are included in order to enhance the Czech music as such.

The gala concert, which is presented by the Opera of the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre on the occasion of The Year of Czech Music 2014, will include well-known but also unjustly neglected operatic works of great composers performed by Ostrava’s leading soloists and exceptional guests.
