“She’s great, she’s an element, she’s a real artist, you can be proud of her.”

Plácido Domingo for Czech TV

Soprano Lada Bočková is one of the most outstanding talents of the young Czech singing generation. She will open the season performing at an opera gala alongside the internationally renowned tenor René Barbera. In her concert activities, she will take on the soprano part in Mendelssohn’s monumental work Lobgesang with the Prague Symphony Orchestra (FOK). In a semi-staged performance of Haydn’s oratorio The Creation, she will sing the role of the archangel Gabriel under the baton of Tomáš Netopil. Another highlight will be her performance in the soprano part of Rossini’s spiritual masterpiece Stabat Mater with the Moravian Philharmonic Olomouc, conducted by Jakub Klecker. At the very beginning of the year, she will appear in the festive New Year’s Concert with the Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic, conducted by Robert Kružík.
