The Fiery Angel, a fascinating operatic tale about the knight Ruprecht and a devil-possessed young woman Renata, is historicaly the first production of Prokofiev’s famous work in the Czech Republic in its Russian original. This work is performed very rarely for its vocal as well as musical demands even in the world context.
