Honegger: Le Roi David"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The story of a king who loved, fought, and failed
<\/strong>Arthur Honegger\u2019s Le Roi David is a thrilling musical drama about power, passion, guilt, and
reconciliation. In 1921, the Swiss composer set the Biblical story of David to music with astonishing force,
combining monumental choral numbers, lyrical passages, and surprisingly modern, cinematic-sounding
moments.

This exceptional work will be presented in a performance prepared exclusively for our festival by Luk\u00e1\u0161
Vasilek. The cast includes top Czech and international artists, including soprano Kate\u0159ina Kn\u011b\u017e\u00edkov\u00e1 and
Vladim\u00edr Pol\u00edvka as the narrator. They will be joined by the Prague Philharmonic Choir and the Prague
Philharmonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
