Review
After a few years in Gothenburg, Sweden, he returned to Prague to promote Czech national music. He led the Provisional Theatre, where he premiered his operas, including the cheerful bride sold.
In 1874 he completely lost his ear, but he kept composing. From that time is Má vlast (My homeland), a cycle of symphonic poems that includes El Moldava.
