Karel Svoboda 80
On the occasion of the 80th birthday of the phenomenal composer and hitmaker Karel Svoboda, the Karlín Music Theatre prepared an exclusive concert in which his songs were performed by a whole plethora of popular artists for whom he wrote many hits in his time, as well as younger singers who are currently singing his songs for this concert, but who often continue to include them in their repertoire. Karel Svoboda prematurely ended his prolific life in January 2007, but we commemorate his untimely birthday with this concert on the very day he was born 80 years ago - 19 December.
