When magnificent and renowned voices meet music that has moved the world for generations, a moment is created that transcends time and space. This evening will celebrate opera, humanity, and art in its purest form. Three exceptional soloists will take to the stage: the enchanting and renowned soprano Danielle de Niese, the charismatic mezzo-soprano Ester Pavlů, and the world-renowned tenor Pavel Černoch. Under the baton of Tomáš Netopil, one of the most prominent Czech conductors, the Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK will perform scenes from the most famous operas by Verdi and Puccini (La bohème, Tosca, La Traviata, and others). In a single evening, tenderness and despair, tragedy and humor will collide – a labyrinth of all shades of human life in musical form.
