RockOpera Prague will open the season with Troy with Eva Urbanová in the role of Artemis, goddess of the hunt
The Prague RockOpera is starting a new theater season, which will be carried on the wave of the RockOpera Europe 2022 festival. As part of it, he will welcome the stars of Liverpool radio in September Bloodline of Conall Long and Martin Harynda.
The first performance that RockOpera Prague will offer its supporters will be a reprise of the opera Troja on Thursday, September 29, in which the world-renowned opera singer will once again appear as Artemis Eva Urbanová.
“Although Eva Urbanová regularly appears on our recordings, unfortunately she cannot play in every rerun due to her busy schedule. Considering that Troja usually suffers only once a season, it is always a big event for the first ladies of the Czech opera scene in our performance. The explosive chorus represents the voice of God, in this case the voice of Eva Urbanová. Eva is a real goddess, because such a soprano is not born just like that. I sing the role of the fortune teller Kassandra, who constantly warned everyone, but no one believed her.” says the artistic director of RockOpera Prague Pavla Lesníwhose duet in the song Troja bajná with Eva Urbanová is the highlight of the performance.
Troy is a rock opera about the world’s most famous war conflict, which arose because of a beautiful woman.
“It’s scary how obvious the parallel is with the war dramas we’re adapting and the current political events in the East,” its librettist Pavla Forest describes her impressions of the opera.
With the opera, the theater expanded its so-called Ancient Series, which also includes Antigone, Oedpus to the Tyrants and 7 against Thebes.
The first theater for rockers with the active RockOpera Europe 2022 festival artistically participates in the promotion of the current presidency of the Czech Republic in the Council of the European Union. With the festival, RockOpera Prague also wants to openly support war-torn Ukraine.
