Additionally, the 34th International Festival Divadlo will take place in Plzeň from September 9 to 17, showcasing works from Czech, Polish, and French ensembles. The National Theatre Moravian-Silesian is also commencing its 108th season following a hiatus for technical renovations, introducing 14 new productions across its opera, ballet, drama, and musical ensembles. Notable upcoming premieres include Giuseppe Verdi’s ‘Requiem’ on October 15 and a theatrical version of Federico Fellini’s ‘Orchestra Rehearsal’ on October 24.
