Zoo Prague will welcome visitors at 4:15 PM at the Education Center near the main entrance. Following that, a procession will head towards the lower part of the Prague zoo area to Veselovského meadow. Just before the Christmas tree lights up, Zoo Prague will present its campaign this year "Adopt Me!"

Thanks to the adoption campaign, so-called animal orphans, meaning animals without adoptive parents, can find their patrons. This is not only about gaining new supporters but also about introducing the public to species that, despite their uniqueness, are often overlooked. An adoption certificate can thus be a meaningful and original Christmas gift. The arrival of Advent will be accompanied by carols from the children's choir Osmikvítěk.

Main Program:

4:15 PM Gathering of visitors at the Education Center and procession to the Christmas tree at Veselovského meadow

4:30 PM Christmas carols performed by the children's choir Osmikvítěk

4:40 PM Welcome and Christmas greeting from the director of Zoo Prague, Miroslav Bobek

4:50 PM Presentation of the adoption campaign

5:00 PM Lighting of the Christmas tree

5:10 PM Christmas carols performed by the children's choir Osmikvítěk

World tenor Pavel Černoch, accompanied by the Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava and guests, will resonate in the New Spiral - At the Exhibition Grounds in April.
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.
