I'm Jan Velinger. This week I take you to one of the jewels of southern Bohemia, the town of Cesky Krumlov, which boasts one of the finest Baroque theatres in all of Europe. The theatre is almost something of a secret at the town's famous castle complex, although it can be seen as part of Cesky Krumlov Castle tours in the spring and summer. For lovers of the Baroque I cannot recommend it more highly: as you will hear shortly the theatre offers one of the most splendid visions of the Baroque period one could hope to see: a wide candle-lit stage, made dreamy by the low light and wondrous hazy backdrops, inviting you to enter hidden playful worlds. Join me now as I talk to Dr Pavel Slavko, who is the head of Cesky Krumlov Castle administration, and is a man who certainly loves his theatre.
