The Slovak National Theater will present two plays
as part of its long-term cooperation with the Prague
National Theater. The first is a salon comedy by
director Peter Mikulík, The Ideal Husband, about
the conversion of a scrupulous politician whose life
is invaded by intrigues and blackmail. The second
play is a dramatization of the Slovak tragicomic
novel Great Happiness, directed by Lubomír Vajdička.
It depicts the story of three different young women
who gradually discover that their feelings of love
for the same man probably won't work out.
Oscar Wilde: Ideální manžel, Božena Slančíková-Timrava
/ Peter Pavlac: Velké štěstí, Stavovské divadlo

Fairy-tale magic
One of the most beloved classical ballets, Swan
Lake was originally a German fairy tale about the
princess Odetta, changed into a swan, the warlock
Redbeard, and the unhappy Prince who forgets his
oath. It was immortalized thanks to the music of
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky and the original, preserved
choreography of Lev Ivanov and Marius Petipa. The
National Theater presents the work as a romantic
ballet with elaborate sets and overwhelming performances
by its leading soloists. The twin role of Odetta
Odilia is played alternately by Tereza Podařilová,
Zuzana Susová, Keiko Sakamoto, and Nikola Márová.
The Prince is played by Alexander Katsapov, Michal
Štípa, and Filip Barankiewicz.

Mournful
tones
One of Giuseppe Verdi's most popular and vital works isn't an
opera, it's the Messa da Requiem, and it was first performed in1874
in Milan. As a part of the "Italian Line" cycle, the
National Theater is giving this work an atypical presentation as
a dramatization. It is performed by the National Theater Orchestra
and the Prague Philharmonic Ensemble, conducted by Jiří Kout. The
vocalists are Catarina Cellia Costea (soprano), Yvona Škvárová
(alto), Valentin Prolat (tenor), and Miloslav Podskalský (bass).
The play is directed by Jiří Nekvasil, with sets by Daniel Dvořák.

Laughter and emotion on film
An internationally travelling exhibition called "Magic Hands" is
the result of the Lifetime Achievement Award given to the news
photographer Elliott Erwitt. The collection contains 97 black-and-white
photographs, mostly action shots. "Small Retrospective" presents
a selection of photos by Erwitt taken between 1953 and 2001. Born
in Paris in 1928, Erwitt emigrated at age 11 to the US with his
Russian parents. To date he has arranged numerous photograph essays,
illustrations, and commercial work. He became famous for his distinctive
photographic study of dogs and their masters, and his portrayal
many famous personalities, "Snaps", is also well known.
