Every year the opera festival of Jarmila Novotná takes place there, and so do it was important to find the balance inbetween of amount of people.

To find the way of architectural face, which had to cope with the difference of classical baroque, traditional czech architecture housing around and the 21. century, there was used a paraphase. The baroque ornament translated as the showen princips of construction. Cornice was said to be the expressive detail by attic and chambranie as the change of window lining material.

Anyway the big inpact was given to the interior - it´s materiality, using as many current constructions as possible and it´s interaction with new concreet-wooden constructions with steel in detail. With the idea to point out the historical value.
