Music director of the opera of the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre in Ostrava, conductor Robert Jindra, is probably the biggest fan of Richard Wagner in Bohemia. He can talk about him so passionately and enthusiastically that he would manage to persuade even the most convinced dissenter of the composer from Bayreuth.

The Czech network of (not only) opera theatres is unique for its density: there is one opera house per one million inhabitants. The OPERA festival is rare as well and it brings all Czech opera theatres to Prague once in two years.

The City Theatre (Městské divadlo) in Zlín is decidedly one of the better regional theaters in the country, still it does not manage to draw large attention every year. In the 2011/12 season, two of the theatre's productions were especially praised: a chamber staging of Enquist's Blanche and Marie by the young director Anna Petrželková was one of the most acclaimed productions at the Theatre European Regions festival in Hradec Králové, and an extraordinary staging of The Oresteia by Jan Antonín Pitínský was one of the most anticipated events of the season.

Amerikana III - The National Theatre in Prague has continued its loose series of programmes comprised of the works of American choreographers and under the title Amerikana III staged works by George Balanchine, William Forsythe and Jerome Robbins.
