Jiří Suchý again postponed the renewed premiere of the musical Nizhny Novgorod to February next year due to the recent health indisposition at the Semafor Theater. The play with music by Ferdinand Havlík, which takes place in old Russia, was to be re-released on December 3. The announced performances will be replaced on December 4, 8 and 9 by the last three reruns of the concert called I Know Even Older People. Lenka Řiháčková informed about it on behalf of the Semafor Theater.
„Tickets purchased for the musical Nizhny Novgorod will be valid for the concert I know even older people. However, if someone wants to return them or exchange them for another performance, let them contact the theater office, “Said Řiháčková.
Jiří Suchý felt sick during the performance
During the performance on October 10, Suché felt sick at his home theater Semafor and an ambulance was called to the scene and took him to the hospital. According to later information, he was soon released home. “I’m healthy, “He said via social networks. “And one more thing: If I didn’t have my favorite mini-collapse once or twice a year, I would feel like something was happening to me, “Added the theater director, who celebrated his 90th birthday on October 1.
It’s more about humor than politics
The politically colored game Nizhny Novgorod premiered on March 5, 1992 and received 104 reruns. “I started writing Novgorod during the previous regime – in the suspicion that something was collapsing and that I could afford more. When I wrote to him, I could already afford everything, “Suchý recalled in one of the interviews. To the title of the musical Suchý later added the subtitle Musical about why the October Revolution did not take place in September, so that people would realize that it was more about humor than politics.
Actor, comedian, lyricist, singer, poet, musician, director, playwright and artist Suchý significantly influenced the domestic cultural scene with his versatile talent. He also participated in the creation of a number of films, for some he wrote the theme, screenplay, lyrics, composed music or played in them. He has published a number of books, including a twenty-volume Encyclopedia, for which he received the Jaroslav Seifert Award. He is the holder of many awards, including the Medal of Merit from Václav Havel (1995), the Thalia Award for Lifetime Achievement (2002) and the Ministry of Culture Award (2006). Suchý and Jiří Šlitr formed one of the most original and popular pairs in the history of Czech theater in the 1960s.
