Since the first production in Pilsen in 1869, The Bartered Bride has never disappeared for a longer period of time from the opera repertoire and is therefore very well known to our audience. Generations of Pilsen opera singers have matured in the roles in this opera. 

Year 1920. A woman after a failed suicide attempt is admitted to a mental asylum in Berlin.

The cooking of nationalism.

In our dramatic series of author texts presented at the DJKT Small Scene (previously e.g. Plzeň 53 or 50 Shades) we will continue with a project provisionally titled DORTEL. The team lead by director Adam Skala and dramatist Kryštof Pavelka aims to thematise the current forms of nationalism in the Czech society as well as the turbulent modern history of the Plzeň region through the currently highly popular cooking competitions.

A less known but excellent comedy from the higher society of early 20^th century targeting the middle-class morale issues will be the last drama premiere of season 2019/2020.

One of the most famous and most popular classical musicals of all time is coming back to the DJKT stage after almost twenty years. The well-known musical based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion tells the story of grumpy professor Higgins, plain and flippant flower girl Liza Doolittle and her transformation into a charming and cultivated lady.

Many classical operettas have beautiful music, but the plot is too naive for today's viewer. The few works that will stand the test before today's audience include Strauss' The Bat – an operetta written to the libretto by the writing duo, Carl Haffner and Richard Gene, based on the vaudeville ‘Réveillon’ by Henry Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. 

At the obscure forest clinic, a chamberlain from the impenetrable Castle comes for treatment of his ordinary diarrhoea, which he diagnosed himself as an interesting venereal disease. 

One of the icons of American postmodern literature, Ken Elton Kesey, whose novel One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest won Forman's 1975 film of the same title five Oscars.
