Tuesday 28. 9. 2021, 7 p.m.

National Theatre, Prague

Concert rendition of the Chap-Book, ballet with singing in 3 acts, H 214.

Špalíček (The Chap-Book) is framed by a cycle of children’s games and scenes from rural life (The Water Sprite Game, The Cockerel and Hen Game, The Golden Gate Game, and others), interspersed with The Fairy Tale of the Cobbler and Death, The Legend of Saint Dorothy and The Fairy Tale of Cinderella.

Martinů’s ballet The Chap-Book received its world premiere in 1933 at the National Theatre in Prague, with a production choreographed by Joe Jenčík, one of the most distinguished avant-garde dance figures of the first Czechoslovak Republic.
