A few notes are all it takes for the film to appear before your eyes. Henry Mancini knew how to write exactly that kind of music – just think of Breakfast at Tiffany’s or The Pink Panther. Mancini’s music will be performed by soprano Janinah Burnett, tenor Chauncey Packer, who won the hearts of the Litomyšl audience last year as Sportin’ Life in Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, and the Hradec Králové Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Anna Pozidis.
