Trip log - Prague September 6

Although I spent most of the day inside my hotel room working and it was a dreary day, the evening had a special unexpected surprise. On a whim, I decided to go to The Municipal House, Smetana Hall to see if I could get tickets. They were available and for less than USD 60, I got seats in the third row.

Members from the Czech Symphony Orchestra did a wonderful job playing great pieces such as:

  • J.S. Bach Air
  • J. Dvorjak Humoresque
  • J. Dvorjak Largo from Symphony No. 9
  • Schubert Ave Maria.
With Lucianno Pavarotti passing away today, I want to pay my tributes to a great icon of our era who will always remain in our memories. Here's Pavarotti singing Ave Maria that I just saw the Czech Symphony perform today.




Also, I was moved by Dvorjak's Humoresque. Perhaps one day Mikaeel will make me proud and play this piece for his dad. The video below is at the Municipal House.
