The multi-genre space Nová Spirála at the Exhibition Grounds will welcome world-class tenor Pavel Černoch this April, who has recently been nominated for an Anděl Award in the classical category for his album Smetana Arias. His performances in the Czech Republic are rather unique, but Pavel Černoch feels at home on the most prestigious stages of the world’s theaters and opera houses. Therefore, anyone looking forward to another opportunity to enjoy the beauty and power of the voice of this Brno native, who has performed on stages such as La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Covent Garden in London, and Opéra Bastille in Paris, should hurry to purchase a ticket for one of the two exceptional performances at Nová Spirála at the Exhibition Grounds. This will take place on April 15 and 16 in the large hall of Nová Spirála, and visitors can look forward not only to Pavel Černoch himself but also to the accompaniment of the Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava, as well as his guests Radka Fišarová, Michaela Štiková Gemrotová, and Hana Holišová. Together, they will present the best of opera arias, as well as songs from world-renowned and beloved musicals, perhaps from the pen of Andrew Lloyd Webber or Leonard Bernstein.

Prague Zoo has bred one of the rarest water birds on the planet, the Brazilian teal. A total of five chicks are thriving in the breeding facility. This species has hatched here for the first time in the world outside its South American homeland. Its occurrence in the wild is very fragmented – the most well-known isolated population of Brazilian teals in the wild survives in the Serra da Canastra National Park in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Experts estimate the total number to be less than 250 individuals. If the breeding of these critically endangered fish-eating ducks at Prague Zoo is successful, it will be a historic achievement of global significance.

Come to the Holešovice Market to reminisce and soak up fresh energy. The planned events will tune you into a gourmet mood and take you to a culinary ritual as well as a daily sermon. And those who hurry to buy tickets will experience a mass performed by Kryštof Bartoš!

Zoo Prague has begun to awaken its hibernating residents from their dormancy (similar to mammalian hibernation). Despite the outdoor temperatures, the zoo is fully preparing for spring, and the keepers are gradually filling the exhibits of reptiles and amphibians. After several months of hiatus, all the inhabitants of the Terrarium pavilion and the recently opened Gobi exhibit are now on display – including the legendary "olgoj chorchoj," a Tatar sand boa. In the desert terrarium Kattakum in the Pavilion of Carnivores and Reptiles, passionate courtship has begun among the lizards, and the Indian gharials have started eating fish again after their winter break.

New circus is an artistic phenomenon that has gained immense popularity in recent decades. It transforms traditional circus performances into a complex work of art that combines acrobatics, theater, dance, music, and sometimes even multimedia elements. Unlike the classical circus, you will not find acts with trained animals; instead, it focuses exclusively on human abilities, creativity, and emotions. Performances, which often contain deeper messages in addition to great acrobatics and precise choreography, attract millions of visitors around the world.
