The Silesian Theater will present the premiere of the well-known Russian fairy tale Mrazík in a musical performance this Sunday from 7 pm. Its plot is already notorious to Czech viewers. The individual characters will be performed by the soloists of the opera ensemble with the help of colleagues from the play. The orchestra under the direction of conductor Tomáš Hanák, the choir and ballet of the Silesian Theater as well as children from the choirs Cvrčci and Domino will perform. The solo characters are sung by children from the Opera Studio of Tereza Kanecká and Katarína Jorda Kramolišová. The stage was designed by Martin Víšek, the author of the costumes is Eliška Zapletalová, the choreography was done by Martin Tomsa and directed by Dagmar Hlubková.

It looks like the fresh premiere of the musical Mrazík will become a visitor's hit. The familiar film fairy tale, which came to life on the stage of the Silesian Theater under the direction of Dagmar Hlubková, is the easy-footed piece that has a chance to attract small and large audiences, preferably the whole family. There is certainly no need to remind anyone of the story of the good and hardworking Nastěnka and grandfather Mrazík. It has been one of the film attributes of the Christmas holidays of most Czech households for many years. And the director D. Hlubková tried to definitely keep the fast-paced film trend. So stage technicians also have a big share in the success of the production this time. Almost none of the legendary characters and scenes are missing in the production full of story and songs. Whether it's Hříbeček's grandfather, Ivan's bear's head, a cottage on a chicken leg, a robber and their clubs or a blossoming dry stump… choir and of course all soloists. Many of them demonstrated great abilities for parody and grotesque. Viewers can rightly look forward to Tereza Kavecká's Board, alternated by Olga Bezačinská, Ivánka by Dušan Růžička or Roman Harok, Marfuša by Ilona Kaplová or Simona Mrázová, Baba Jagu by Michal Pavel Vojta or Zdeněk Kapl. Mrazík is played alternately by Evžen Trupar and Martin Táborský. An important mover of the story this time is the narrator, who was excellently portrayed by Zdeňka Mervová, alternated by Ivana Lebedová. We could continue the list of colorful and grotesque characters, there are a number of them, mostly well cast and rendered. Of course, we cannot miss the performance of the theater orchestra under the baton of Tomáš Hanák. The scene - Martin Víšek, seems a bit inconsistent, but Eliška Zapletalová's costumes meet most expectations. Let's just remind that the original film music was added by the creators of the musical, Ostrava musician Boris Urbánek and actor Jiří Sedláček (lyrics), a number of new musical numbers. Those who expected higher goals or directorial innovations from the new production were apparently disappointed to leave Mrazík's premiere. However, the fans of the film Mrazík definitely got their money's worth and saw most of the replicas and gags that have almost become popular in our country over the years.

The musical took place under the direction of Roman Štolpa and a musical production by Alena Jelínková. In addition to Tereza Kavecká, Roman Harok, Lukáš Randák, Dalibor Hrda, Zdeněk Kapl, Peter Svetlík and others also played the lead roles. He performed with the choir, ballet and orchestra of the Silesian Theater Opava under the baton of Alena Jelínková. The theme of the American musical was the true story of actress Fanny Brice, who worked in theaters in New York before and after World War I. The captivating story about the life and great love of the artist and her husband is full of unforgettable musical and dance melodies. In addition, she is inspired by the true story of an actress, dancer and singer who, thanks to her phenomenal talent and sense of humor, managed to turn from an ugly duckling into a shining and popular star of theatrical productions, despite her initial failure. Musical,

Opava- The musical, which is another variation on Pygmalion, managed to reach the Opava scene with several premiere attempts. It is the story of a simple girl at first, obsessed with theater and eager to establish herself, who, with the strength of will and courage to experiment, developed from scratch into an artistically famous wonder from the beginning of the last century. The nearly three-and-a-half-hour story of whether it was possible to combine artistic advancement with privacy called for cuts. With one break, it is really a bit tiring for the spectators, moreover it is not very moving and thus a bit static. Shortening the story by at least half an hour would certainly benefit him a lot. However, the performers are not to blame. It tries to prepare the audience for a pleasant stay in the auditorium. Soprano Tereza Kavecká in the title character Fanny practically did not come off the stage and her performance deserves an award. The protagonist, The heroine's great motivation was also the love for the gambler Nick, who was portrayed by the guest Ostrava soloist Roman Harok at the premiere. He introduced the audience to a salon-type man, resisting commitments, who finally succumbed to Fanny's intense emotion and married her. However, he began to suffocate him and after a bad investment, in which he lost all his and Fanna's money, he started to cheat. He ended up in prison, where he realized that their next journey together was no longer possible and chose divorce. Soprano Katarína Jorda once again confirmed her acting skills as Fanna's mother. She credibly leads her from a hopeful mother, through a mother proud of her daughter's success, to a woman frustrated by her child's emotional collapse. Another important man on Fanna's artistic career was the choreographer Eddie, also performed by the guest Lukáš Randák, who admires and protects his charges from show business magnates and from herself. Lenka Liberdová brings a cute element to the story as the friend of Fanna's mother, Mrs. Strakoschová, obsessed with the girls' marriages. In a similar vein, a plethora of other performers also appeared at the premiere. The musical Funny Girl will not be lost by the audience, but they will hardly want to see him again.
