The second weekend of the Advent with Czech National Ballet performances

You have the opportunity to see Valmont and La Bayadère for the last time this year – in special casts. Make your weekend special and come and admire your favourite artists.

The Estates Theatre is the best scene to stage Valmont – enjoy the late eighteenth century atmosphere full of aristocratic elegance, a bit of decadence and a touch of erotic tension.
Valmont – the famous story of declining morals, cruel schemes and passionate love comes to you today and tomorrow in the following cast:

Valmont – Friday December the seventh at 7 pm – the Estates Theatre
Marquise de Merteuil – Alina Nanu, first soloist

La Bayadère – the classical ballet from exotic India tells the story of prince Solor who is loved by beautiful dancer Nikia and noble Gamzatti. Both women fight for him – which one will win his heart? What will Solor do? Will mighty gods have their say in the story? On Sunday the love triangle will be danced by:

La Bayadère – Sunday December the ninth at 7 pm – the National Theatre
