About the inscenation

The combination of music, theatre and visual arts has created a unique show that blends traditional music, a magical Christmas story and the latest visual technology that promises to make the Czech Christmas Mass a feast for your eyes and ears.

What would Christmas be without the traditional “Rybovka”, the Czech Christmas Mass by Jakub Jan Ryba? Always in the run-up to Christmas, the Hybernia Theatre is miraculously transformed into a church where the audience will experience magical moments that will remind them of the original message of Christmas, which is about family comfort and above all hope.

The family journey to the Star of Bethlehem is directed by Petr Svojtka, the projections are created by Michal Novák, the orchestra is conducted by Lukáš Klánský and sung by Daniel Hůlka, Daniel Klánský or Michal Bragagnolo.
The projections also include footage of the famous Třebechovice Nativity scene, which will remind you of a traditional Czech Christmas.

If you are still not in the Christmas mood during Advent, then stop by for a moment and take the whole family to the Czech Christmas Mass and we guarantee that as soon as you leave the Hybernia Theatre, you will be in the mood for a Christmas miracle.

We are preparing this production for you again in the run-up to Christmas.

I believe that the Czech Traditional Christmas Carols Concert will become a long-standing tradition at the Hybernia Theatre. The authors of the script, Otakar Faifr and Michal Novák, offer the viewer a typical prelude to Christmas morning. The Father is sent out to get the Christmas tree, the Mother makes magic in the kitchen and the children play, preferably outside in the snow. Everyone remembers a series of Christmas songs. And just like carols, decorating the Christmas tree, wrapping presents, preparing the traditional dinner has its place in the story. Hybernia Theatre offers especially a break from the real Christmas worries. It gives space to take stock of what I haven’t done yet, or we can delve into all the parts of the Czech Christmas Mass – Kyrie; Gloria; Graduale; Credo; Offertory; Sanctus; Benedictus; Agnus and Conclusion. All this is enhanced by the projection of snowfall, the cathedral and details of the bethlehem from Třebechovice Museum. And one cannot but admire the sound engineers who managed to masterfully sound not only the soloists, but also the choir.
