Performing Smetana’s Má vlast (My Country) at the opening concert of the 2021 Prague Spring Festival will be Collegium 1704 and the conductor Václav Luks. The originally announced performers, the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and the conductor Vladimir Jurowski, have been forced to cancel their appearance because current public health measures in Germany governing the work of orchestras do not permit them to rehearse the work.
