About

The opera Libuše occupies a unique position in Czech national culture. Smetana composed it as a festive opera to be performed on occasions celebrating the Czech nation. The first such occasion was the opening of the National Theatre in Prague in 1881, when the work was premiered.

This is a studio recording from 1965,
hitherto unreleased on CD, when under Jaroslav Krombholc the lead role was rendered by Naděžda Kniplová. The re-edition of this recording is part of the new Supraphon series titled 'Czech Opera Treasures', which aims to present recordings of complete operas not previously released on CD.
