The closing night of the Třeboň Nocturnes is dedicated to the emotions that only the human voice, accompanied by a large symphony orchestra, can express. The courtyard of the Town Hall will be transformed into an open-air opera stage, where the Slovak charm of soprano Adriana Kučerová will meet the youthful energy of bass-baritone Theodor Šimáček. Come celebrate the festival’s climax in an atmosphere that combines world-class opera with national pride.

The combination of seasoned stars, such as Adriana Kučerová, with the rising generation, represented by Theodor Šimáček, reflects the core vision of the Třeboň Nocturnes: to connect the best of history with a vibrant future.
