Special New Year's Eve final rehearsal in Rudolfinum: M. Ravel, C. Saint-Saëns

Rudolfinum is a must-see in Prague. Visit a morning final rehearsal of the Czech Philharmonic in splendid Dvořák Hall!

For this season’s New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day concerts led by Tomáš Netopil, the Czech Philharmonic returns to music of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries -  the “belle époque” -  when French music crossed the boundary of traditional aesthetics and thrilled listeners with beautiful melodies, grand Romanticism, and of course, Impressionism. Let’s dance together into the New Year with charm and elegance!
