2025-11-30 | 2025-12-03 | 2025-12-06The Makropulos Affair
Vienna State Opera | Vienna, Austria
At the law firm: the end of a long inheritance procedure. It seems that for Albert Gregor (a descendant of Ferdinand Gregor) the case is lost. His lawyer, Dr. Kolenaty, arrives with the mysterious singer Emilia Marty... At the center of the Makropulos Affair is the recipe for a life-extending elixir invented by the physician Hieronymus Makropulos for Emperor Rudolf II. It was tested on the doctor's beautiful daughter, who has been alive for 337 years and has had countless affairs over the generations. Eventually, however, the seemingly young woman must realize that an endless life on this side of the world brings only loneliness...
To everyone's astonishment, she knows the background to the dispute over the inheritance - and refers to the hitherto unknown Baron's will, which is then found and brought to court by Dr Kolenatý, accompanied by his opponent Jaroslav Prus. However, Emilia Martyová is primarily interested in the Greek document attached to the will. Albert Gregor falls in love with Emilia Marty.

Wiener Symphoniker | Vienna, Austria
Experience a musical highlight of the pre-Christmas season in the heart of Vienna: the Wiener Symphoniker's Advent concert with chief conductor Petr Popelka in the beautiful St. Stephen's Cathedral. In 2025 a ‘Bohemian Christmas’ will take centre stage - with touching works by Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana, Josef Suk and others.
Look forward to special moments such as the enchanting ‘Lullaby’ from the opera Hubička (‘The Kiss’), masterfully interpreted by Kateřina Kněžíková. Other high-calibre soloists of the evening: Štěpánka Pučálková, Pavel Černoch and Adam Plachetka. Accompanied by the Singverein der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, the ‘Wiener Advent’ combines music and contemplation in Vienna's landmark.
The crowning finale: the collective ‘O du fröhliche’ - the unforgettable finale to an evening full of magic and anticipation of Christmas.
