Lotrando and Zubejda 'live'

Experience the enchantment of “Lotrando and Zubejda ‘live’” – a spellbinding concert‑film event that brings the beloved 1997 Czech fairy‑tale to the stage. Presented by the Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of conductor Kryštof Marek, the performance is accompanied by the radiant Girls’ Choir of the Secondary Pedagogical School in Kroměříž, led by choirmaster Jiří Jablunka. Roman Tomeš will portray the daring Lotrando while Michaela Tomešová will embody the charming Zubejda, creating an unforgettable duo that will carry the audience through the film’s vivid narrative. Directed by Karel Smyczek and written by Zdeněk Svěrák, the film follows Lotrando’s adventurous journey through the forests of the Bohemian Basin, where a band of robbers led by Lotrand lurk in hidden thickets. Alongside the intrepid lumberjack Drnec and a delegation from Sultan Soliman’s realm, Lotrando discovers that true work is more than toil, and that even princesses grow weary when deprived of sunlight, air, and, most poignantly, love. In collaboration with the Soundtrack Poděbrady Festival, this event delivers an immersive experience: live orchestral scoring of Jaroslav Uhlíř’s score, soaring choral passages, and stirring solos by our featured performers. Whether you’re an admirer of Czech cinema, a lover of live orchestral music, or simply seeking a wholesome family outing during the Advent season, “Lotrando and Zubejda ‘live’” promises an evening of wonder, lyrical beauty, and timeless storytelling.
