Šárka

About the show

After Libuše’s death, women revolt and form an army led by Šárka. As the male troops’ morale declines, Ctirad guards Libuše’s tomb. The women swear vengeance when he frightens them from the tomb. Šárka is tied to a tree as bait; Ctirad frees her, and they fall in love. As they sleep, she remembers her plan and signals the maidens, who kill Ctirad and his warriors. At Ctirad’s funeral, Šárka throws herself onto his pyre and dies.
