Are you looking forward to 65th Smetana Litomyšl Festival? Are you curious how we managed to move from the castle to the Festival Hall? What does the Festival Hall actually look like? What are the acoustics like? Then we have prepared an “Open Day” for you – in short, a festival general rehearsal, which will take place two days before the festival opening!
From 10.30 am the Festival Hall will be open to everyone and at 11.30 am an attractive approximately one-hour long concert will start. Admission is, of course, free, as befits a general rehearsal and Open Day – you just have to “pick up” a free ticket through the usual sales channels, so as not to exceed the permitted capacity of the auditorium. But not to worry – we have 1200 seats ready for you!
