He shifted the story of thwarted love from the Italian Renaissance to 1920s or 1930s, i.e. the period when Sergei Prokofiev composed the music for the work. The joie de vivre and humanity of his characters, wit, tempo and excitement all permeate the entire ballet together with the highly effective and moving romantic set designs. Running time: 2 hours and 20 minutes The National Theatre is one of the most important Czech cultural institutions and has a rich artistic tradition, which helped to maintain and develop the Czech language and Czech musical and dramatic arts. The construction of the National Theatre building was financed by contributions from the public and the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone in 1868 became a national event. The theatre's repertoire is based on a rich classical tradition, but also focuses on contemporary domestic authors and draws on modern global trends. The current National Theatre is made up of three artistic companies - opera, drama and ballet.
