The opera based on the widely popular tall story, which inspired Josef Kajetán Tyl to write his play The Strakonice Bagpiper, or The Feast of Wild Women, is a fairy tale from head to toe – depicting a simple story, featuring clear-cut characters, either evil or good, and, naturally, with a happy ending, all that supported by music abounding in lovely melodies, masterful fugues, as well a grandiose conclusion, “So the story ends”, with a quotation of the splendid Czech song I Dont Want Anyone. The fairy-tale opera featuring magic bagpipes and clear-cut characters would be translated into some 17 languages after its premiere in 1927 and garner acclaim all over the world, including in Vienna, London and other major European cultural centres, as well as in New York and Buenos Aires. The production is suitable for the whole family! In Czech language with German and English subtitles. The project is part of the Musica non grata series.
