Dvořákovský písňový maraton by Various, Alates (2014/2014), Antonín Dvořák Theatre, Ostrava, Czech Republic

After a ten-year break, the so-called Year of Czech Music will take place again in 2014 , commemorating significant anniversaries of Czech music composers whose life path was defined by fours in the dates of birth or death. In addition to Bedřich Smetana (1824–1884), Leoš Janáček (1854–1928) or Josef Suk, these authors primarily include Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904) , whose death will be one hundred and ten years old on May 1, 2014 . The Moravian-Silesian National Theater will pay tribute to Dvořák's legacy on the day of the composer's death with a six-hour marathon , during which Dvořák's complete one-part song work will be performed with piano accompaniment in four one-hour blocks with three breaks (3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m.–5:30 p.m., 6:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m., 7:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m.). . The project will be implemented in the building of the Antonín Dvořák Theatre , the world's only opera stage bearing Dvořák's name. The basic principle of the project is the performance of all ninety-four songs in their original version , either in critical editions or in manuscripts, in their original languages : in addition to songs composed to Czech texts, the program will include several works originally composed to German texts.
