ABOUT THE SUBSCRIPTION
Love in its various forms will be the common thread throughout this group.
The first of the famous works where everything revolves around it is Dangerous Liaisons. In a new adaptation by the directing duo SKUTR and Jana Slouková, Zuzana Stivínová shines as the cruel Marquise de Merteuil, and Saša Rašilov portrays the cynical Viscount de Valmont.
Intrigues and desperate passion can also be found in the lively opera The Elixir of Love by Gaetano Donizetti, where the simpleton Nemorino falls in love with the wealthy Adina and tries to win her over with a magical elixir. However, he encounters a boastful soldier and a cunning fraudster...
Well-drawn character portrayals await you in the drama Mephisto, based on the novel of the same name by Klaus Mann. Its protagonist Hendrik Höfgen, portrayed by Robert Mikluš, deeply loves success and the theatre, for which he is willing to do anything.
We bid farewell with the enchantment of art, further enhanced by sensuality and physical beauty, in the ballet Scheherazade with music by Rimsky-Korsakov and choreography by Mauro Bigonzetti, created specifically for the National Theatre and presented in its world premiere.
As part of the subscription, you will also visit three beautiful venues where the performances take place - the National Theatre building, the Estates Theatre, and the State Opera.
