Sláva Daubnerová's contemporary treatment of the Ring opener at the Prague National Theatre is socially ambitious but artistically disappointing.

At the Prague State Opera, Calixto Brieito relocates Mozart's opera seria to modern times, with disastrous results.

The director drains the life out of an impassioned opera with a staging devoid of authenticity and ideas.

Superb singing and brilliant work in the pit can't quite rescue Jiří Nekvasil's overambitious production.

At Prague’s National Theatre, a witty, well-kept Smetana Secret

Aided by spirited singers and enthusiastic musicians, director Ondřej Havelka brings an imaginative, ironic touch to a lesser-known Smetana opera.
