Salve Regina

Works of Baroque masters associated with the Bohemian lands will be performed in the ceremonial setting of the Lobkowicz Palace. The spiritual vocal pieces Salve regina by Jan Dismas Zelenka and Regina coeli by the court composer of Count Morzin, Antonín Reichenauer, will be performed by the renowned soloist Tomáš Šelc, and complemented by instrumental pieces including virtuoso concertos. The members of the Collegium Marianum under the direction of Jana Semerádová will demonstrate their artistry on works by the aforementioned Reichenauer, Johann Joseph Fux or Giuseppe Tartini. The audience will be transported back to the aristocratic environment of 1820s Prague, where the performance of the coronation opera Costanze e Fortezza attracted hundreds of musicians, including Tartini, who stayed there for several years and maintained contacts with Filip Hyacint, Prince of Lobkowicz.
