However, the gift itself does not mean any success. The Swiss composer Arthur Honegger was talking about talent as a courage to start again and again. About a courage and thus a strong will and moreover a self-discipline to improve talent and natural endowment. Support of gifted people and improvement Vážení návštevníci Stredoeurópskeho of their skills and abilities is a part of European festivalu koncertného umenia, policy in the field of culture and education.

  • First Look at San Francisco Opera's RUSALKA by BWW News Desk Jun
    Photo Flash: First Look at San Francisco Opera's RUSALKA by BWW News Desk Jun. 16, 2019 Tweet Share San Francisco Opera presents Antonín Dvo?ák's Rusalka at the War Memorial Opera House, June 16-28, in David McVicar's "thoughtfully conceived and brilliantly executed" (Chicago Tribune) production. The Czech fairy tale opera features a cast headed by Rachel Willis- Sørensen in her role debut as Rusalka,Brandon Jovanovich as the Prince, Jamie Barton as Je?ibaba, bass Kristinn Sigmundsson as Vodník and Sarah Cambidge as the Foreign Princess. South Korean maestra and Houston Grand Opera Principal Guest Conductor Eun Sun Kim leads the cast and San Francisco Opera Orchestra in her first Company engagement. Chorus Director Ian Robertson prepares the chorus. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid and the novella Undine by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué,Rusalka follows the tragic heroine of the title, a water nymph who makes a grave sacrifice to win the love of a human prince. Known in the world's concert halls for his brilliant symphonies and chamber music, Dvo?ák dedicated himself to opera late in life and created a masterpiece in Rusalka, which had its 1901 premiere in Prague. Filled with references to Czech folk music and the composer's stirring, orchestral textures, the opera features many memorable moments, including the title heroine's Act I soliloquy, "M?sí?ku na nebi hlubokém," or the "Song to the Moon." The operatic productions of Scottish director David McVicar, especially Berlioz's Les Troyens and Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, have thrilled San Francisco Opera audiences in recent seasons.
