1998

The dominant venue of the 7^th edition of the  International Music Festival has become the newly reconstructed second courtyard of the chateau Český Krumlov. The opening concert was opened by the Prague State Opera Orchestra with conductor Jiří Stárek and the Prague Philharmonic Choir with the famous composition by Carl Orff Carmina Burana. Verdi’s Requiem sounded at the final evening. As the concert drew to a close, it began to rain slightly. However, nature wanted to close the festival with grace, so it was fully showered with the last tone of the song.
