The Rudolfinum will host a renewed premiere of the world-famous and award-winning fairy tale film by the phenomenal artist, writer, screenwriter and director Jiří Trnka "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with live accompaniment by the Czech Radio Children's Choir under the baton of conductor Jan Kučera. Kainar's poetic text based on William Shakespeare's famous classic, performed by actor Petr Štěpánek, will enhance the magical atmosphere of the entire work and bring clear contours to the music. The spoken word, which blends beautifully with the wonderful music of Václav Trojan, will add another enchanting dimension to Trnka's immortal and still fresh masterpiece.
