An original musical written specifically for the DJKT Small Stage, To Embrace the Waves is inspired by the final days of Romantic playwright, poet, and writer Heinrich von Kleist. In the autumn of 1811, Heinrich and his close friend Henriette—who had just left her husband—retreated to Lake Wannsee near Berlin. But Heinrich’s soul is as restless as the waves on the lake’s surface, and no less changeable are the many faces of love.

To Embrace The Waves

Divadlo Josefa Kajetána Tyla

The romantic and mysterious story of the enigmatic Transylvanian Count Dracula is set in several centuries from the Middle Ages to the near future. During those centuries, the ruthless ruler and cruel warrior, afflicted with the curse of immortality and eternal desire for blood, becomes a broken man, longing for love and redemption. This new, original and first ever production outside Prague is presented with a cast full of Pilsen musical stars. The staging of the legendary musical, first performed in June 2024 as a summer open-air production at the Lochotín Amphitheatre, is also one of J. K. Tyl Theatre's contributions to the Year of Czech Music.
