At a Prague Spring concert, on the last day of May, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Ode to Joy was heard again for the first time in seven years. It was performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Jiří Kout. Singing to a sold-out house were Petra Lang, Adriana Kohútková, Aleš Briscein, and Štefan Kocán, together with the Prague Philharmonic Choir.
