Events and us

Martin Šelle

Ostrava is at first sight a bit of a vague city but under the all-surrounding fog, you can find kind and willing people. It would be a shame not to meet them. Here's a list of four events you shouldn’t miss.

Polské dny v Ostravě 2023

I know you all go there for shopping - but wouldn't you like to know a bit more about Poland? If the answer is yes, then this event is just for you. Polské dny v Ostravě is happening from the 18th October to the 12th November.

And here's everything to expect: Talk shows with interesting people from Poland, culture enhancing exhibitions, traditional movies and music, and as always, traditional food. This event will not only teach you about Poland but it will also bring you closer to our already-so-close neighbors.

Karin Lednická - Šikmý kostel

 Karin Lednická is one of the best Czech writers. She writes about our region with such a passion only a Silesian like her could do it. And that's why you shouldn't miss any of her books. But maybe you are not one for reading, which is where Divadlo Petra Bezruče comes in with their theater version of Šikmý Kostel, her book about common people in an uncommon time. 

Ms. Lednická herself was part of the script creation - now it's up to you whether you read it or you see it. The play is performed the whole month.

"The plot of the novel spans nearly three decades, and although it essentially focuses on several key personalities, it is colorful and elaborated with creative imagination and erudition. The narrative about a world where coal dust blends with the scent of blooming meadows has the same power as the indomitable women who are the main heroines."-Alena Slezáková, MfD

Prodaná nevěsta

 The most popular Czech national opera is coming back to Divadlo Antonína Dvořáka. Orchestral music, an incredible story and characters, all in a feast of a comedic opera piece for your eyes and ears.

Česká kletba

 Based on The Irish Curse written by Martin Casella, the Mír Theater has created a new play, Česká Kletba (lit. "The Czech Curse"). You will experience a story about four men who go for confession to church and learn about their problems. Will they resolve them or will they stay under the Czech Curse? And more importantly - are you under the Czech Curse?
