/en Conciertos, Festivales, Noticias /por STFPrague Proms 2024 celebrará varios conciertos relacionados con la música de cine y los musicales en junio y septiembre.
Hollywood Night – Mon 24/6/24 – 19h – Municipal House, Smetana Hall
The Czech National Symphony Orchestra has offered its audience nearly three dozen Hollywood Nights and has met many icons of film music. In September 2023, we invited you on social media to co-create the programme of the Hollywood Night concert, which will take place as part of the 20th annual Prague Proms festival.
Originally, only the first half of the concert was to be created according to your choice. However, your reaction brought more beautiful ideas than we expected. That’s why we have adapted the whole concert programme to your suggested titles, and added only a few of our favourites.
We are already looking forward to the unique atmosphere in the Smetana Hall. The one you create with our help.

Reviens Bébel! – Tue 17/9/24 – 19h – Municipal House, Smetana Hall
Concert Moved.
Tickets with original date of the concert (September 18, 2024) remain valid.
Our fans had the opportunity to attend a performance dedicated to the rugged film and theatre actor Jean-Paul Belmondo at an extraordinary concert of the Czech National Symphony Orchestra in 2022. The remarkable success of the event and our admiration of this legendary actor has led us to revisit our project, Reviens Bébel! This time as part of the Prague Proms.
Jean-Paul Belmondo, nicknamed Bébel, excelled in star roles as irresistible adventurers or cynical heroes. In collaboration with the greatest French film makers, he showed courage and superb physical acumen, able to take on even the riskiest scenes without doubles or stuntmen. He could also play psychologically demanding characters with bravura. The famous actors Jean Gabin and Alain Delon were his partners in film, while the mesmerising Tunisian Italian actress Claudia Cardinale exemplifies his colleagues of the female persuasion.
The concert, which is held in the Smetana Hall of the Municipal House in Prague, invites listeners to enjoy the most famous film melodies that are forever inseparably entwined with the one-and-only Bébel. Conducted by Italy’s Marcello Rota, the programme includes music from hits like Hold-Up, Cop or Hood, That Man from Rio, Breathless, or Le Magnifique.
Performers:
- Czech National Symphony Orchestra
- Marcello Rota, conductor
Program:
- Hold-Up (1985), Serge Franklin
