Václav Kopta, the biggest charmer in Czech show business, will show that classical music is perceived as serious only by mistake. Directed by Jan Budař with vocal performance by Martina Masaryková and accompanied by the Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK.
The concert will show the surprising and playful form of “classical” music. It will open an imaginary door even for those who say they do not understand this area. In the Castle Riding Hall, a concert “performance” will take place that will show that classical music speaks the language of each of us and that the term classical is often very misleading for this music. The script and direction of this original event will be taken by the well-known entertainer and Renaissance man Jan Budař. The musical instruments will be played by the Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK, which will return to Český Krumlov after many years under the baton of Jan Kučera. The Slovak soprano Martina Masaryková will play the solo parts and the evening will be conducted with grace and humour by the actor and the most handsome man in the domestic show business, Václav Kopta.
