This exceptional project brings together several musical and theatrical worlds: opera and jazz, a&nbsp;hybrid orchestra of classical and jazz musicians, three solo singers and a&nbsp;children&#8217;s choir with young soloists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The children&#8217;s opera O&nbsp;ztracen\u00e9 vod\u011b was originally created as a&nbsp;staged theatre piece. It premiered in 2023 in Broumov, where its creation was initiated by the Broumov Education and Culture Centre with the support of the National Recovery Plan. After a&nbsp;series of successful performances, including at the Ar\u00e9na and Struny d\u011btem festivals, the composer decided to record the project and release it as an album. The narration is by Mat\u011bj Forman, who was also behind the direction and visual form of the original production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music: \u0160t\u011bp\u00e1nka Balcarov\u00e1<br>Libretto: Zden\u011bk Havl\u00ed\u010dek<br>Narrator: Mat\u011bj Forman<br>Rosni\u010dka the Tree Frog: Andrea \u0160ulcov\u00e1<br>The Old Wise Owl: Barbora Mochow\u00e1<br>The Stag: Martin R\u016f\u017ea<br>The Pig: V\u00edt K\u0159i\u0161\u0165an<br>Musicians: \u0160t\u011bp\u00e1nka Balcarov\u00e1 (trumpet, ocarina), Marcel B\u00e1rta (clarinet, bass clarinet), Robert Fischmann (flutes), V\u00edt K\u0159i\u0161\u0165an (piano), Ji\u0159\u00ed Slav\u00edk (double bass), Kamil Slez\u00e1k (drums), Pavel Bo\u0159kovec Quartet<br>Choir: Amicitia Children&#8217;s Choir, Broumov Music School<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I&nbsp;wanted to write music that children would fall in love with.
