A prince, two women, and a spell ... recipe for love and loss in Rusalka (Dana Burešová, Eva Urbanová, Valentin Prolat)
For you and your family, it’s a pleasant summer evening’s entertainment — music, drama, top stars — all in the romantic setting of a castle courtyard or castle park.

Elizabeth Haas takes a peek backstage for a chat with Vratislav Kříž, himself a former opera singer and currently the organizer behind Opera Czech Republic. The company presents the National Theatre singers and its Orchestra in open-air opera performances each summer.
