Major symphonic works are presented in cooperation with the orchestra, and the group takes part in a complete opera staging in Term 2. All students and staff welcome!

soprani
v milosti shlížejte na tuto zem!
look down with grace upon this our land!
Act 1, Scene 3, page 35
bassi, tenori
spory se rodí a mrzký svár;
k samému nebi zloba ta vniká
volajíc bohův hněv i zmar!
conflicts arise hateful strife;
that anger rises up to heaven
inviting the wrath of the gods!

Leknutím se tají dech,
řeč zachází, zrak i slech!
Fear stops our breath,
speechless are we, blind and deaf!

dle srdce, neupoutána,

and we shall welcome jubilantly
the ruler of our future days!

chutě ku práci, než nastane noc!
Bez klidu dále a na pole ven,

Without rest onward and out in the fields
in work and toil we end our day!
Heya! Heya!

ty děvo cudná, líbezná!
Již kyne snubu doba.
Tvůj ženich již jde, nemeškej,
zář mu polila obličej,

you, maiden chaste and beautiful!
The time of wedding is come,
your bridegroom is here, tarry not,

everlasting!

they all hell’s horrors will ever resist!
Glory! Glory!
