Mario Zhang and Jana Dolezilkova - The Opera Couple for This Century
Mood:  crushed out
Now Playing: Still the same ;)

"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous." (Ingrid Bergmann)

Well, never put multiple entries in the same day before, but everything should be the first time once...

Mario Zhang and Jana Dolezilkova. Possibly in the near future those few words will be enough to imply a synonyme for excellent partnership both on stage and behind the curtains. Harmonious collaboration of two matured artists (the man being in that case much more experienced and of course well-known, but the lady's time seems to be coming right now) and their affection for the music as well as for each other proved to be fruitful combination bringin the most impressive results.

We had two very significant gigs together. Actually, both of them were benefits and incidentally, also open air. First one took place at the shrine of Maria Hilf near the Polish boarders and it was held for raising funds for saving the church in Horni Udoli. See the pictures from the event below. The concert was more then enjoyable and we were granted by a standing ovation by the audience.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the next concert, that was really a memmorable event. The open air performance as well, but for a bigger audience (around 400 people) and with much more opulent presentation. This benefit took place in Ostrava and the funds were used for building a new kindergarten in the local part of the city. The concert was highlighted by celebrities taking part, including current Czech Vice-Beauty, Zuzana Putnarova. The line-up completed a young violin prodigy, Marie Korpasova. There is defintely more to be said about the event, but let the images speak for themselves....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am going to post here links for the video recording of the event soon so stay connected!

Best regards to all of you and thanks for your nice messages. For those I added at Facebook, Hi5 or MySpace and didnt have time to reply so far I have to apologize, but being on the concert road almost without break lately, I cannot do much better. Thank you for your understanding and have a nice time with the best music!
