tips for you
G.F.HÄNDEL: GIULIO CESARE IN EGITTO – PREMIERE
Opera in authentic musical interpretation on historical instruments. With extraordinary international soloist cast! A story that has inspired many authors before and after Handel in various art forms. Handel’s version is one of those extraordinarily successful ones, still alive today, continuing to inspire composers and musicians, and fascinating audiences and listeners to present day.
INDUSTRIAL CONCERT: PAVEL ŠPORCL
Violin virtuoso Pavel Šporcl will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of his patronage of our festival with a spectacular symphonic concert. He has invited the Czech National Symphony Orchestra to collaborate with him, and the Italian chief conductor Luca de Marchi has taken over the leadership of the orchestra in cooperation with the Festival Retz. The programme of the concert is in line with the main dramaturgical line of this year’s festival: “Antiquity and Love”. Respighi’s Ancient Dances will be performed, as well as Sarasate’s variations on passionate melodies from Carmen.
Possible transport by NEVOBUS bus – 19:00, from the Municipal Theatre in Znojmo.
UHERČICE CASTLE CONCERT: (KMENY) TRIBES
A magical combination of music and acrobatics performed by masters of improvisation. And it is improvisation that makes every performance of TRIBES (KMENY) a unique show that will never be repeated. The central trio of musicians improvise, the dancers, acrobats and the sound and lighting engineers improvise.
KMENY is not only a unique musical theatre experience, but also a meeting with the top of the Czech urban dance scene. The dancers use different dance styles to complement the musical improvisations and create a magical connection that will fill the audience with an unforgettable experience. Acrobats bring a variety of circus disciplines to the show. They will perform acts using suspended acrobatics or also the cyr wheel.
The bus departs from the Municipal Theatre at 6:30 pm. Return to the same place after the concert. Tickets for the bus are available in advance.
The concert takes place in all weather conditions (in case of rain, use raincoats, umbrellas are not accepted).
