The episode is an interview with mezzosopranistka Markéta Cukrová about the new Laterna Magika production 'Baron Prášil'. The host introduces the premiere at the Estates Theatre, noting its multimedia nature and star team. Cukrová compares the show to Karel Zeman's 1961 film but emphasizes its original direction by directors Měřenka Čechová and Petr Boháč. She mentions previous collaborations with them, such as the opera monodrama 'Tak tiše až'. Cukrová describes the involvement of illustrator Galina Miklínová, who was initially hired to draw unseen but became a live actor on stage. She lists other performers like mime Radim Vyzváry and prima ballerina Nikola Márová. Cukrová explains her role as the Judge, the only speaking character, who uses singing and sharp commands to represent institutional rigidity. She details the music by Jan Kučera, which ranges from classical to musical-like styles, and notes it is mostly recorded with some live musicians. The conversation shifts to the show's themes, with Cukrová linking it to contemporary issues of fantasy versus rigid systems in politics and education. She shares insights from a post-rehearsal discussion with audiences, highlighting the topic's sensitivity. The host asks about Cukrová's other projects, and she mentions her recent role in Perslova's opera 'Daido and Inias' and upcoming premiere in Poulenc's 'Dialogues of the Carmelites' at the State Opera on May 21, part of Prague Spring. The episode concludes with details on 'Baron Prášil' performance dates and a farewell.
