Piarist Church of the Finding of the Holy Cross
An extraordinary production of a new oratorio in honour of St Ludmila on the feast of the Slavic preachers Sts Cyril and Methodius, who baptised the first Czech saint and martyr 1140 years ago. The legendary actress Soňa Červená appears in the role of St Ludmila.
“In spite of all the blows, Fate has directed me as best it could, gifted me – and now I’ve decided to share all the gifts.”
Soňa Červená

Bad Weather…
The performance takes place outdoors. If the usually pleasant summer skies aren’t obliging, an awning will take a few minutes to silently roll into place over the heads of the audience. Therefore, the performance will go ahead even if it rains. A few raindrops may fall in spots in Section C, which is why tickets for this section are sold for a discounted price.
