OVERVIEW

Conductor Marek Šedivý
Performers Eva Dřízgová-Jirušová and guests

A concert dedicated to a long-standing soloist of the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre on the occasion of her life anniversary. Eva Dřízgová-Jirušová has portrayed a wide range of key characters over her career in Ostrava—her debut was Smetana's Vendulka, Rusalka by Dvořák is her favourite one as well as Puccini's Mimi and Debussy's Mélisande, for which she was awarded the prestigious Thalia Award.
The programme of the concert recalls the important roles thanks to which Eva Dřízgová-Jirušová indelibly went down in the history of Ostrava opera and which are closest to her heart above all. Eva will be accompanied by her friends and colleagues from the Czech opera scene and also by the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre’s opera chorus.

Performed on 22 September 2022 at the Antonín Dvořák Theatre
