Berliner Philharmoniker – Opening concerts

In 2024 we will be marking not one but two Bedřich Smetana anniversaries. In March it will  be 200 years since the composer’s birth and, on 12 May, 140 years will have passed since  his death. What better way to celebrate this colossus of Czech music than with a  performance of Má vlast (My Country) at the Prague Spring’s opening concert by an  orchestra regarded as the best in the world? This is a distinction enjoyed by the Berlin  Philharmonic, who will pay a visit to Prague after an absence of ten years. The orchestra  will perform the festival’s signature work headed by their Chief Conductor, Kirill Petrenko.  The concert marks his Czech debut.
