Welcome to Smetana's Litomysl Opera Festival

Established in 1949, the Smetana's Litomysl International Opera Festival is the second oldest classical music festival in the Czech Republic, right after the famous "Prague Spring" music festival. At all events, the Smetana's Litomysl Opera Festival is the largest open-air classical music festival in the Czech Republic.

Smetana's Litomysl Opera Festival will be held from 12 June to 6 July 2009. This time exclusively Smetana's Litomysl will last for 4 weeks due to several anniversaries going on at the same time - opera lovers can expect a great opera program again.

The centre of the Smetana's Litomysl Opera Festival activities is Litomysl Castle, a national cultural landmark that was registered on UNESCO World Heritage List in 1999. More info on the Smetana's Litomysl Opera Festival to be found here.
