Can we escape the destiny written for us in the stars? Our destiny can be either a love or a sickness, a wonderful encounter with another person or the loss of someone we care about. All of this is hidden in symphonies and operas. You can look forward to the fateful moments of life and to stories about the desire to live freely in your own way.

D4 In the Hands of Destiny

Dvořák Hall Rudolfinum

E4 In the Hands of Destiny

Who doesn’t love Eine kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart? It is cheerful, amusing, and exhilarating! It’s all in vain, though, fatigue comes over us, our eyes close, we are falling asleep… What can we experience in the mysterious night hours, when we do not even know we are asleep – and yet awake? You see your dreams at night, then you wake in the daylight. The melodies that lure us into dreamland remain in the back of our minds.

D3 Wandering in Dreamland

E3 Wandering in Dreamland

The famous music from the symphonic poem The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Paul Dukas tells the story of what happens when someone summons spirits and then does not know how to tame them. Our December concert will be dominated by this wild, colorful, danceable music. It is a sign that magical creatures are awakening from their slumber. Fortunately, in the run-up to Christmas, the angels, who have the power to defeat all evil, are always present.

D2 When Spirits Wake Up

E2 When Spirits Wake Up

These musical stories of the landscape tell what is hidden in the forests, rockfaces and watery depths of the Czech lands. We will discover what such music sounds like in the October concert, where music by Bedřich Smetana, Antonín Dvořák and other Czech composers will be heard.
