Vivaldi is one of the best-known Baroque composers thanks to his instrumental concertos. In his time, however, he was very successful as an opera composer and entrepreneur. Later his operatic output was neglected, but in recent years audiences around the world have had a chance to become acquainted with his musical-dramatic works. In the Czech lands this has not yet occurred, despite the fact that Vivaldi probably spent the years 1730–1732 here and several of his operas even had their world premiere in Prague. His opera Orlando furioso has not been staged in the Czech lands since 1732, so our production will be the modern Czech premiere.

The Prague State Opera in cooperation with the Slovart publishing house publishes a representative book tracking the history of this significant cultural institution since its opening in 1888 till the end of the 2002/2003 season. The publication called The Prague State Opera – Theatre History in Pictures and Dates is focusing solely on the opera featured at the scene, even though the theatre under various names also served to presentation of drama plays, operettas and ballet. The Prague State opera plans to publish the volumes concentrating on those genres in the next years.
