From Thursday, September 1, ČT art will start its ninth birthday celebrations with a week of gifts. On the very first day, he offered the audience a live broadcast of the musical production Špinarka from the Petr Bezruč Theater in Ostrava from 8 p.m. ČT art will unwrap the gifts until Sunday, September 11, in the form of concerts, recordings of theater performances or premieres of films awarded world prizes. In the autumn, the cultural station will premiere, among other things, a six-part trip to the Lifestyle of the First Republic, the documentary Toyen, Baroness of Surrealism by the well-known director and screenwriter Andrea Sedláčková, or the cycle Czech detective, whose guide will be Ondřej Vetchý.  “In addition to Špinarka, we will broadcast a unique concert on the Vltava River in September, our viewers will be present remotely at the opening concert of Dvořák’s Prague, and they can enjoy live, for example, the opening of the Zlatá Praha festival, where Dagmar Pecková will present her songs and guests. We will not miss the opening concert of the season of the Czech Philharmonic,” says Tomáš Motl, executive director of CT art. After a successful summer, when the cultural station recorded the most watched month in its history in July, the new season will bring three premiere cycles. The popular show with Miro Žbirka will be followed by the Hits’ Den with guests Michal Prokop, Petr Fiala with Mňága and Žďorp or Ivan Hlas. And the Czech detective, with guide Ondřej Vetchý, will present the history of a genre popular with readers, which domestic writers have been working on for almost a hundred years. The lifestyle of the First Republic will remind you of the interwar period associated with elegance, nobility and elementary decency, as the program guide Jan Jiráň says. “After all, even gentlemen went to football in ironed suits with hats on their heads. The opposing players used to be lettuce and frogs, the judge a carrot, so they didn’t have to be threatened with lynching. It’s a shame that respect for competition and other opinions will probably never return. And not only to football stadiums.”
