"So far, I have enjoyed all the characters that
I have performed, largely because they act directly without hypocrisy, trying to live their lives to the full."

guest at the Prague National Theatre as well as the Prague State Opera. She has performed
in Janáček's opera "Jenufa" at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, in Leonard Bernstein's Kaddish

Her art of singing is indisputable. Thanks to her great sense and feeling for music she is able to point out the music phrases naturally and smoothly, but finally we have a Czech soprano singer who is able to sing in natural Czech language beautifully and clearly.

Even though the entire evening was in fact a fantastic show of wonderful, perfect and well-mastered pieces, nevertheless, I do consider two moments as the most significant. One of them was the unbeatable performance of the title role given by Pavla Vykopalová.
