Pavla Vykopalová Closest Performance
Her art of singing is indisputable. Thanks to her great sense and feeling for music she is able to point out the music phrases naturally and smoothly, but finally we have a Czech soprano singer who is able to sing in natural Czech language beautifully and clearly.

The entire evening was actually a showcase of alternately great, successful and wonderful things. However, I consider two moments to be the most important. One was the unbeatable performance of Pavla Vykopalová in the title role.
