Children's Festival Week · The Vltava

Bedřich Smetana's most famous work depicts a symphonic journey along the Vltava River: The river rises from gently murmuring springs, visits dancing nymphs in the moonlight, flows through raging rapids, and finally disappears majestically into the Elbe. The piece was written in 1874, when the composer was already completely deaf. With your ears pricked, you can embark on an exciting river cruise at this family concert!
