The annual Smetana Litomyšl, the second oldest music festival in Czechia and the country’s largest classical music festival outside of Prague, gets underway on Saturday. This year’s edition, marking the bicentenary of the birth of Bedřich Smetana, promises to be the biggest in the festival’s history. I discussed the event with its artistic director Marek Šulc:
“It will be the largest festival so far, not only in terms of the number of days – we are starting this Saturday, June 8, and the final concert will be on July 6 – but we also have the biggest number of concerts. So it really will be a full month of music in Litomyšl.
