Sub olea pacis et palma virtutis conspicua orbi regia Bohemiae Corona: Melodrama de Sancto Wenceslao

About the show

This ceremonial allegory praises Saint Wenceslaus and Bohemian virtue. It opens with a contest between Prince Václav and the Prince of Kouřim, which Václav wins by reason rather than force, and continues through three acts of allegorical religious praise and fortitude.
