The second world premiere of this season will bring to the stage of the Prague State Opera a contemporary Norwegian work and will be the first performance of a Norwegian opera in the Czech lands. This opera with satirical and grotesque elements was written on commission for the Norwegian National Opera in 1987. Madsen drew inspiration from Verdi’s Falstaff and Mozart’s Cose fan tutte. The subject is an ordinary day in a circus. The libretto is by Jon Bing, a well-known Norwegian writer of fantasy literature. This will be a co-production with Den Norsken Opera of Oslo.
Premiere: May 16, 2002

The Prague State Opera – Theatre History in Pictures and Dates
The Prague State Opera in cooperation with the Slovart publishing house publishes a representative book tracking the history of this significant cultural institution since its opening in 1888 till the end of the 2002/2003 season. The publication called The Prague State Opera – Theatre History in Pictures and Dates is focusing solely on the opera featured at the scene, even though the theatre under various names also served to presentation of drama plays, operettas and ballet. The Prague State opera plans to publish the volumes concentrating on those genres in the next years.
