The new production (premiered on 24 May 2024) of Smetana’s penultimate opera to a libretto by Eliška Krásnohorská was directed by Ondřej Havelka, a director with an excellent sense of musical theatre, stage humour and visually compelling storytelling.

The Secret, one of his most beautiful operas, was written in 1877 by a completely deaf composer. The premiere took place at the New Czech Theatre on 18th September 1878 under the baton of Adolf Čech.
