Christmas is a time for wishes to come true. For the Prague Symphony Orchestra, this year's celebrations begin with a long-awaited performance of Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, featuring principal horn Zuzana Rzounková and the outstanding tenor Levy Sekgapane. The second half belongs to Tchaikovsky's enchanting Nutcracker, brought to life by the Prague Symphony Orchestra alongside the Radost Praha Children's Choir and dancers from the Czech National Ballet Preparatory School. Presented in celebration of UNICEF's 80th anniversary, the evening is a joyful celebration of music, childhood and the Christmas season.
