Selection from premiers
The Strakonice Bagpiper
Josef Kajetán Tyl
One of Tyl’s most charming and enchanting plays, about the wildness of youth and the power of love. About stubbornness and selfishness, which can blind not only the eyes but also the heart. About how no one is a prophet in their own land, and how you recognise a friend in times of need – you just mustn’t overlook them! more
The Playboy of the Western World

How to become a hero quickly and easily… even if it means getting into serious trouble? In a remote pub in the Irish countryside, a frightened young man named Christy Mahon suddenly shows up with a story about how he killed his father with a rake. more

About theater
The JK Tyl Theatre is the largest professional theatre and, at the same time, one of the most important cultural centres in the Pilsen region. It consists of four artistic companies - opera, drama, musical and ballet performing at three venues – in the historic building of the Grand Theatre, and on the New Stage and Black Box stages located in the modern building of the New Theatre. The repertory offers classical Czech and international productions, innovative dramaturgy and contemporary works. The programme also includes both grand and chamber concerts and less formal events. The high artistic level of the Theatre is evidenced not only by regularly awarded artists, received acclaim and interest from various domestic and foreign festivals, but also by the number of renowned Czech and foreign guest directors. The director and tutor, Martin Otava, has been the head of the Theatre since 2014.
