The master Antonín Dvořák

The focus of the opening event is Antonín Dvořák, a composer who has shaped music history. Dvořák, born on September 8, 1841 in Nelahozeves, was a master of melody and national music traditions. After significant stations in Europe, including his role as director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York, he returned to Prague with a variety of compositions such as "From the New World" and the opera "Rusalka", where he worked until his death in 1904. This return was not only an escape from homesickness, but also the beginning of a creative highlight that shines far beyond the borders of Czech music. Dvořák's influence on the national identity and the music of the 19th century is outstanding, which makes him one of the most important composers of his time.
