Description was written before the event

For the twenty-ninth time, Třeboň comes alive with history and returns to the Renaissance era to celebrate the legacy of Jakub Krčín of Jelčany and Sedlčany, a prominent regent and fishpond builder.

About the venue: J.K. Tyla Theatre

The empire-style Divadlo J. K. Tyla on Masarykovo náměstí is one of the oldest civic theatres in Bohemia, built in 1833 inside a former brewery malt house. Its interior dates from 1872 and houses one of the oldest surviving painted stage curtains in the country, the work of František Skála from Písek. The theatre is named after J. K. Tyl, who performed here in 1852 and 1856; Ema Destinová also appeared on its stage. Today the city cultural centre runs it, staging theatre productions, concerts and guided tours.
