The festival opens with a vibrant Broadway Night featuring West End stars and Czech violinist Pavel Šporcl, followed by a highlight concert with the English Chamber Orchestra performing Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream and a world premiere suite by composer Lukáš Sommer.
Celebrating Bach’s 340th anniversary and the legacy of Felix Mendelssohn, the festival blends tradition with creativity. Performances take place in castles, churches and open-air stages, and feature stars like Marc Coppey, Clarinet Factory, and guests from London, Paris, and Munich ballet companies.
Part of the national “Vltava: Famous & Navigable” project, the festival also features the Vltava Organ Series in historic riverside churches.
More than a concert series, Stars over the Vltava is a cultural experience that combines world-class music, historical beauty, and the spirit of Czech heritage.
