Songs and arias inspired by biblical stories.

During forty weeks of 2025, Michal Horáček wrote poems conceived as monologues and dialogues of various biblical characters. Each had rhythm, rhyme, and a refrain, providing the foundation for musical composition. At his invitation, leading figures from both rock and classical music took them on - Markéta Irglová, Ivo Viktorin, Lukáš Sommer, Michal Novinski, Jan Kučera, and others.

The compositions were gradually sung by Iva Bittová, Xavier Baumaxa, Katarína Koščová, Robert Křesťan, Jiří Pavlica, countertenor Vojtěch Pelka, soprano Zuzana Marková, and baritone Roman Janál. Thus a vast, genre-diverse programme was created - and continues to grow.
