Švanda Theatre - Rules of Nirvana

The September menu of the restaurant TADY CHUTNÁ balances between the freshness of the last summer days and the first pronounced flavors of autumn. Fresh goat cheese, Czech balsamic vinegar, borscht with pelmeni, tuna according to Jindřich Vaňha, and pears in caramel. And if the chef David Kalina had to choose just one dish? Definitely the tuna.

There are melodies where just a few initial notes can instantly conjure an entire film in front of your eyes. The music of Ennio Morricone has long transcended the boundaries of the movie screen. On November 10, it will resonate in Bratislava at the Tipos Arena, and a day later, on November 11, it will also be performed in Prague at the O2 Universe, conducted by the person who has the closest relationship to it, the orchestra led by the famous composer’s son, Andrea Morricone. Interest in this extraordinary concert is high, and tickets are disappearing from sale at a dizzying pace. The opportunity to experience immortal film melodies live, performed by top musicians who personally collaborated with the Maestro, is becoming increasingly rare.

The Montanelli Museum will present the work of Bedřich Dlouhý, one of the most prominent figures in Czech post-war art. The paintings and objects come from the Montanelli Museum's own collection. They will provide visitors with the opportunity to engage with the work of an artist whose original artistic language combines precise painting, imagination, symbolism, and a distinctive irony.

In autumn, neither parents nor children have to say goodbye to the mountains. On the contrary, the Krkonošsko Mountains still offer plenty of options for shared days outdoors. Tourist destinations are open, and cable cars continue to take visitors into the mountains. The upcoming extended weekend promises an Indian summer, and the Krkonošsko Mountains in autumn colors are expecting an influx of tourists. Those heading to the mountains should therefore anticipate larger crowds and plan their routes in advance.

November in Prague has a charm of its own – and one tradition well worth experiencing. On Saturday, November 14, Náplavka will come alive with St. Martin’s celebrations, bringing together young wine, roast goose, music, and good company.

Traditionally, on Czech Statehood Day, Zoo Prague celebrates the anniversary of its opening – this time with the number 95! For Monday, September 28, the zoo has prepared a festive program in the presence of special guests. Costumes, historical vehicles, and stylish newsboys distributing period newspapers will transport the entire garden back to the 1930s. Interested visitors can have their hairstyles done for free in the style of that era and dance to the music of a live swing band. Visitors who arrive at the celebration in themed outfits will also receive a small gift. The program will also include presentations of new attractions and the opening of an exhibition celebrating 95 years of Zoo Prague. There will be popular sea lion training sessions, as well as commented feedings and meetings with the animals that were part of the beginnings of the Prague zoo: wolves, lions, and elephants.
