On Saturday, February 7, the Prague Municipal House became the scene of the twelfth year of the prestigious Czech-Slovak Ball. The event, which has traditionally been held under the auspices of the presidents of both countries, once again confirmed its exceptional importance for both nations. This year’s motto “From heritage to the future” accompanied the guests throughout the evening, which was interwoven with respect for common history and important milestones, including mentions of personalities such as Václav Havel, Antonín Dvořák and opera legend Edita Gruberová.
An unforgettable musical experience was provided by the main star of the evening, multiple nightingale Lucie Bílá. Accompanied by the Petr Maláska band, she performed a specially prepared program, with which she once again confirmed her bond with both countries. The contrast to the soft tones was brought by the legendary Tublatanka. Maťo Ďurinda and his band brought breathtaking rock energy to the halls and with his performance emphasized the strong brotherhood that has existed between Czech and Slovak audiences for decades.
Slovak actress Jana Nagyová did not miss the festive evening. She also came with her husband and without a watch, so they enjoyed the evening in company without pressure about the time of departure. She told her husband that they would stay as long as they ruled and felt good.
Many people do not know that the Slovak artist actually has Czech citizenship. What is behind it? “Yes, Czech, because when the republic was divided, I was pushed against the wall, either one or the other. And I lived in the Czech Republic at that time, I had a family, children, so I couldn’t say so I took Czech citizenship, but I’m Slovak, I’m a Czech-Slovak actress,” emphasized Nagyová.
Actress Jana Nagy became famous thanks to her role in the TV series Arabela from 1979. In the past, she also moved to Germany with her family. She gradually disappeared from the world of show business, but years later she appeared again in front of the cameras and starred in one project after another.
