 Prague National Ballet
Since Tchaikovsky's visit to the Prague National Theatre when Swan Lake was staged in the composer's honour, the company, despite the influence of Diahilev's Ballets Russes in the 1920's, had remained resolutely classical until the nomination of Vlastimil Harapes as artistic director in 1990.
Vlastimil Harapes, who was the company's star dancer in the 1970's and was himself trained at the Prague Conservatory before completing his studies with Alexander Pushkin in Saint Petersburg, sets great store by technique although not to the detriment of "the heart".
Stressing their origins, the dancers, all trained at the Conservatory of Prague interpreted a programme of works of their famous compatriot Jiri Kylian, who fled the country in 1968*, because their director considered Kylian's ballets belong to them.

 Prague Conservatory History
The history of the Prague Conservatoire started in 1808 when music-loving aristocrats and burghers, aware that Prague lacked a good orchestra with qualified and well-educated musicians, decided to found a school that would provide instruction to musical talent.
As the Prague Conservatoire aims to produce not only outstanding artists but also well-rounded personalities, the curriculum includes a well-balanced programme of theoretical, language and general education studies.
In their judgment, the first and most appropriate means to this end is to find and appoint, for every instrument, an excellent musician who by special contract will undertake not to play his instrument in the orchestra for several years, but also to teach that instrument and train several pupils assigned to him.
