Vivaldi Four Seasons in Old Prague is a concert series by the Dvořák Symphony Orchestra Prague, played in a chamber line-up in the setting of a historic church. It offers a compact introduction to classical music, with famous pieces from the Baroque and Romantic periods in a single programme.
The ensemble performs with organ, solo violin and solo vocals. The centrepiece is Vivaldi's “Four Seasons”, with the “Spring” and “Winter” concertos. Around it come Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Schubert's “Ave Maria”, Handel's “Lascia ch'io pianga”, Franck's “Panis Angelicus” and a selection from Mozart's Divertimento in D major. Czech music is well represented too: Dvořák's Slavonic Dance No. 8, his Biblical song No. 10 and the aria from his opera “Rusalka”. The programme also includes a prelude by Brixi or a toccata by Černohorský, and Mozart's “Lacrimosa” or “Ave verum corpus”. The organiser lists some items as alternatives, so the final line-up may vary.
The concert lasts about 60 minutes without an interval, which makes it an easy fit for an evening of sightseeing. It suits admirers of Baroque and Romantic music as well as visitors who want a cultural evening in a historic interior and have little time to spare. For availability and to book seats, see the organiser's page or the ticket page.
