As part of the festive Advent concert in Prague, the Prague Royal Philharmonic, conducted by Michael Zuckernik, will perform masterpieces from the global repertoire. On this evening, within the magnificent setting of the Municipal House (Obecní dům) — a symbol of Czech culture and a jewel of Art Nouveau architecture — in the very heart of Prague, you will hear:
- “Vltava” from the cycle “Má vlast (My Fatherland)” — Bedřich Smetana’s poetic ode to the Czech river,
- Symphony No. 9 “From the New World” — Antonín Dvořák’s deeply emotional and lyrical masterpiece, composed in America yet infused with longing for his homeland,
- and the iconic “Boléro” by Maurice Ravel — a hypnotic musical incantation that builds to a dazzling orchestral climax.
This Christmas concert in December is more than just a musical event — it’s a profound journey into a world of great emotion and cultural heritage. The Smetana Hall at Obecní dům, with its opulent Art Nouveau interior, golden accents, and flawless acoustics, creates an atmosphere where every note resonates with exceptional clarity and sincerity.
The Prague Royal Philharmonic is one of the leading symphony orchestras in the Czech Republic, known for its energy, precision, and deep respect for musical tradition.
Michael Zuckernik, an internationally acclaimed conductor, masterfully blends the power of orchestral sound with the delicate lyricism of each composition.
We warmly invite you to this concert at the Municipal House — the perfect cultural gift to begin the holiday season. Located in central Prague, just a short walk from Republic Square, Obecní dům is easily accessible for guests from Germany, Austria, and across Central Europe.
