The new version of VIVALDIANNO, subtitled THE SHOW, surpasses the visual style of previous projects City of Mirrors and Reloaded. Comments Michal Dvořák, author of the project and famous Czech musician, producer and composer. “The incredible atmosphere of Venice full of lights that we have managed to create in this version will give the audience even stronger experience than the previous versions of the show and perfectly illustrate the story and music of Antonio Vivaldi. Antonio was very innovative and modern in his time. THE SHOW strives for up-to-date technical and visual innovation as Vivaldi himself might have done if he lived in our time. We try to enhance his musical emotions with contemporary means of expression, modern choreography and stage design with absolute respect for his work.” VIVALDIANNO is a concert with a story dedicated to the baroque genius Antonio Vivaldi. The libretto was written by lyricist, playwright and screenwriter Tomáš Belko.

Audio Walk Experience:

The Hybernia Theatre hides a surprising secret. It began as a 14th-century monastery. Irish monks, the “Hibernians”, later built a Baroque church here, which became an imperial customs house and finally today’s musical stage. The streets around it are just as full of stories – from Count Sporck, who brought Vivaldi’s operas to Prague, to a medieval toilet hidden in a bookshop.

This self-guided audio walk feels less like a recording and more like a stroll with a local friend who happens to be an art historian. She points out details you’d walk past, shares stories you won’t read anywhere else, and keeps asking: what do you think?

It takes you through almost 900 years of history hidden beneath the heart of Prague, at your own pace. The walk takes place entirely outdoors, so no theatre ticket is needed – and it’s at its most atmospheric in the early evening, perhaps right after a show.
