     of the Prague National Theatre
     conductor Jaroslav Krombholc

     The opera LibuÜe occupies a unique position in Czech national
     culture. Smetana composed it as a festive opera to be
     performed on occasions celebrating the Czech nation. The
     first such was the opening of the National Theatre in Prague
     in 1881, when the work was premiered. SupraphonÆs catalogue
     already contains CDs of SmetanaÆs LibuÜe in two live complete
     recordings documenting the interpretational mastery of the
     artists associated with the National Theatre: the legendary
     recording of the performance in 1983 marking the reopening of
     the theatre after its reconstruction and featuring Gabriela
     Benackovß in the lead role, and the 1995 recording of the new
     production of LibuÜe at the National, when the lead role was
     undertaken by Eva Urbanovß. Now Supraphon is supplementing
     these recordings with a hitherto unreleased on CD older
     studio recording from 1965, when under Jaroslav Krombholc the
     lead role was rendered by Nade₧da Kniplovß.
