Third part of a concert tetralogy, in which the string sections of the Ostrava, Olomouc and Pardubice Philharmonics will once again join forces to perform compositions for large string ensembles.

“They say it is not advisable to enter the same river twice. However, the repertoire, which seems ideal for such shows, offers itself directly and it would be a chance missed not to undertake this remarkable journey, full of musical experiences and with exactly the same line-up of musicians once again!”

frequently asked questions

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.

Wheelchairs

We want do everything possible to make things easy for people in wheelchairs. Therefore, to purchase tickets, please contact Jitka at nazdravetska@smetanovalitomysl.cz or +420 602 457 338.

Tour of Smetana’s Birthplace

It’s almost as if intermission was created just for visiting Smetana’s birthplace, as it’s directly on the grounds.
