"In 1860, František Škroup accepted an offer to bring an opera to life in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I was very surprised to find out that no one had ever explored his Rotterdam story in detail. That's why I decided to take on this task. Through searching archives, periodical press, and even Škroup's estate, I uncovered a profound human story that deserves our attention."

This festive event will take place under the auspices of the First Lady of the Czech Republic, Mrs. Eva Pavlová, on the occasion of the Year of Czech Music and the 190th anniversary of the first public performance of the song "Kde domov můj" on the stage of the Stavovské Theatre. The book will be launched by the Czech violin virtuoso and composer Pavel Šporcl.
