About the concert
Hallelujah, Ave Maria and Summertime beneath the tsar's crystal chandelier of St. Nicholas – soprano and organ favorites on Prague's Old Town Square.
A soprano soloist of the National Theatre in Prague and a leading Czech organist perform the most beloved sacred and concert pieces – from Händel's triumphant Hallelujah to Gershwin's tender Summertime – in an intimate one-hour concert for soprano and organ.
St. Nicholas Church on the Old Town Square, a Baroque masterpiece built in 1732–1737 by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, is famous for some of the finest acoustics in Prague – and classical concerts beneath Asam's frescoes and the tsar's crystal chandelier are a long and popular tradition.
