Theatrical performance Mozartinka
Creative Workshops
Concert From Prehistory, via Mozart, to the Present Day
The 2026 Festival’s Family Day revolves around the story of a small boy with great talent, of shared creativity and a journey through the history of music from antiquity to the present. Family Day offers entertainment and insight for all generations. Children are gently introduced to the world of classical music, while adults may enjoy a short break from grand concerts – especially when their guide for the day is Prague’s beloved Mozart himself. Families may find that the next event on the Festival programme – an evening performance with Dvořák at the Rudolfinum, featuring his opera The Jacobin – may be an ideal culmination of Family Day.
Mozartinka
An adventurous journey tracing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from birth to worldwide fame. The story of a gifted boy, filled with his music, joyful and dangerous encounters, admiration and envy, humour, imagination and magic…
Playful Mozart
Let us take a stroll with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart through his magical operas, where we will meet fairy-tale characters such as the parrot Papageno, his beloved Papagena, the Queen of the Night and even ordinary servants endowed with quick wits and a lively sense of humour. These characters will guide us through the extraordinarily playful world of Mozart’s operas, which reflect his great sense of humour. We will discover that an overture can reveal a lot right at the beginning, and that the plot can sometimes become surprisingly complicated.
The popular music and drama workshops are led by Lenka Pospíšilová and her team of tutors.

An independent association of freelance artists who work together simply because they enjoy it. Docela velké divadlo Litvínov was founded on 1 September 1996.

The Rudolfinum is one of the most important Neo-Renaissance edifices in the Czech Republic. In its conception as a multi-purpose cultural centre it was quite unique in Europe at the time of its construction. Based on a joint design by two outstanding Czech architects, Josef Zítek and Josef Schultz, a magnificent building was erected serving for concerts, as a gallery, and as a museum. The grand opening on 7 February 1885 was attended by Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria, in whose honour the structure was named. In 1896 the very first concert of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra took place in the Rudolfinum's main concert hall, under the baton of the composer Antonín Dvořák whose name was later bestowed on the hall.
