Famous Arias for Soprano and Organ (in Czech “Slavné árie pro soprán a varhany”) is a classical concert in the Church of St Nicholas on Old Town Square. A soprano voice and majestic pipe organ bring together well-known music by Handel, Mozart, Schubert and Gershwin. It is a good way to hear classical music in one of the most striking Baroque interiors in the city centre.
The programme includes “Hallelujah” from Handel’s oratorio “Messiah”, Mozart’s “Alleluia”, Schubert’s “Ave Maria” and Gershwin’s “Summertime”. The performers are Zuzana Koś Kopřivová, soprano and soloist of the National Theatre, and Michal Hanzal, organ and piano, who is the main organist and pianist of the church. The musicians perform from three different places in the church, so you can notice how the sound changes in the exceptional acoustics. The church has an unusual floor plan with a dome in the centre, and the organisers describe it as one of the acoustically finest concert spaces in Europe. Music reaches the listener from all sides.
The concert suits music lovers as well as anyone who would like to hear familiar classical pieces in a new setting. The programme is made up of well-known works, so no special knowledge is needed. Ticket categories vary, so check the organiser’s page for the available options and book there before your visit.
