Jiří Bělohlávek conducts Smetana's opera

A rare opportunity to hear Smetana’s masterly tragic opera Dalibor under our Czech Conductor Laureate Jiří Bělohlávek. With striking echoes of Fidelio, the story transports us to 15th-century Prague, where Dalibor is imprisoned having avenged the death of his musician friend Zdeněk. The sister of his victim, Milada, is touched by his plight and disguises herself as a boy violinist in order to enter the gaol …

Jiří BÄ›lohlávek, whose long and fruitful relationship with the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Symphony Orchestra has borne a string of award-winning Czech music recordings, returns to conduct this powerful music drama.

Concert staging; sung in Czech with English surtitles.
