According to the author, the opera Libuše should only be performed on rare occasions. The year of the two-hundredth anniversary of Bedřich Smetana’s birth is undoubtedly the right moment for its concert presentation. The Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra will perform it under the direction of Robert Jindra, the musical director of the Prague National Theatre.
