On the evening of August 6 the Prague State Opera transports us for a moment to 1666, for on that day in Paris Moliére’s comedy Le Médecin Malgré Lui was premiered. The company La Fabrique à théâtre and the director Jean-Denis Monory work to achieve the illusion of return to the atmosphere of the baroque theatre. For the French baroque theatre is not made up of only Moliére’s poetic French language (with Czech surtitles) and action full of reversals and intrigues, but also worked out gesture and choreography, candlelight on stage, colourful costumes and always sounding music. The result is rich and at the same time pure, the theatrical form cleared of the deposits of the years, full of suggestive power.

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.
