We hear that the Narodny Divadlo has offered its chief conductor position to the freelance Ukrainian, Andreiy Yurkevych.

The only hitch is that this week’s Traviata did not go down at all well with the orchestra.

    That would be:

    Národní divadlo Praha;

    not to be confused with

    Národní divadlo Brno

    or Bratislava’s

    Slovenské národné divadlo.

    Národní divadlo is kind of generic and as prevalent as a Staatsoper – which one?

    Robert Jindra was officially announced as the new Music Director of Narodni divadlo several months ago:
