A tremendous triple bill comprising Jiří Kylián's 27’52” and two new works by Robert Bondara and Marco Goecke. The programme unfolds as a meditation on transience, instability and the unpredictability of human life.

Puccini's classic takes on a harsh contemporary edge in a dark treatment by director Sláva Daubnerová at Prague's National Theatre. 

Andriy Yurkevych leads a rousing musical performance, but this visually impressive Nabucco tries to hard to be relevant and misses the mark.

Fine vocal and musical performances can't overcome Sláva Daubnerová's staging which misses the mark.

All the energy is in the pit in this flat production of a time-honored favorite.

Jiři Herman’s staging is authentically Japanese and focuses on the deliberate injustice of Butterfly's treatment, with strong performances in the lead roles.

The National Theater opens the season with Rodion Shchedrin's searing version of Lolita, with spectacularly disturbing results.
