Trapped in an abusive marriage, a wealthy German prince desperately seeks a way out. But what appears to be the road to salvation soon turns into a highway to hell. The universal language of music meets the international language of Esperanto in this debut opera by Ivan Acher. The carpenter, forest worker, designer and composer has cleverly blended electro-acoustic and contemporary music to breathe life into Ladislav Klíma’s expressionist novel, The Sufferings of Prince Sternenhoch.

Live broadcast of the gala concert of the best Ostrava musical production... The festive concert is a reminder of the last 10 years of the Ostrava musical. In 2010, the originally operetta ensemble of the Moravian-Silesian National Theater became an operetta/musical ensemble, and it was the musical that gained a dominant position in its repertoire. The concert will present a cross-section of important titles that the musical scene had in its repertoire over the entire ten-year period. In a live broadcast, it will offer the audience unforgettable songs from the most famous musical productions performed by Hana Fialová, Martina Vlčková, Michaela Horká, Patricia Janečková, Tomáš Savka, Lukáš Vlček, Tomáš Novotný and others, directed by Gabriela Petráková and in an attractive set by scenographer Ondřej Zicha, using scenic elements from selected productions. For example, songs from the show West Side Story will be heard.
