The era of elegance, charm and artistic flourishing.
The Golden Age that celebrated the beauty of life. An artistic and musical evening program inspired by French Secession, with details that will transport you to the world of Parisian salons and aristocratic gatherings.
Exclusive Experience
This evening is not just an event – it is a journey through time, a celebration of beauty, elegance, and the intimate connection between art and the audience. The event is limited to a small number of guests to preserve its unique, almost intimate atmosphere. This creates the feeling that the artists are performing directly for you — without distance, without a stage, in close proximity. Every moment is personal, every experience authentic.
On May 20th, an exclusive evening in the spirit of Belle Époque opens for a select circle of guests – a soirée continuing the tradition of private salons and refined social circles.
Opera singer Katarína Procházková, soloist of the State Opera in Banská Bystrica, accompanied on piano, will guide you through selected arias and operetta pieces with nobility and emotion. Her performance will be complemented by the virtuoso violin playing of Milan Olšiak.
Music here is not mere background – it is the heart of the evening.
Come with friends or individually. The evening is designed to naturally create space for relaxed conversations and new connections in cultivated company.
Dress code is mandatory. Ladies are expected in elegant evening gowns, gentlemen in tuxedos or dark suits with bow ties. The attire should enhance the noble atmosphere of the evening.
The Belle Époque (French for "beautiful era") was a period from approximately the end of the 19th century to the beginning of World War I (c. 1870–1914), mainly in France and Europe.
It was a time of relative peace, prosperity, and great cultural flourishing.
What was special about the Belle Époque?
• Arts and culture: the rise of theater, opera, literature, and painting
• Elegance and social life: salons, balls, cafes, nobility
• Technological progress: electricity, automobiles, telephone
• Architecture and design: Art Nouveau style
• Optimism and lifestyle: emphasis on beauty, pleasure, and aesthetics
Imagine a Paris full of lights, artistic gatherings, elegantly dressed ladies in corsets and gentlemen in tuxedos. People enjoyed social life, music, dancing, and conversation in salons more.
The name came later — as a nostalgic memory of a peaceful and cultured period before the First World War ended it.
Imagine a world where time has stopped. A world where the scent of expensive perfume mixes with the notes of a piano or violin. Where conversation was not just an exchange of information, but a true art.
Our soiree revives the tradition of Parisian and Viennese salons from the turn of the century.
What can you look forward to?
Intimate atmosphere: Forget impersonal concert halls. You are our guest in a private space, just a few steps from the virtuosos.
Masterpieces: Famous arias, operettas, virtuoso piano pieces by Chopin, Dvořák, Debussy and many others will be performed.
Aesthetic experience: Period Art Nouveau objects, peacock feathers, candlelight and first-class champagne in the hands of people who love beauty as much as you do.
Capacity is strictly limited to 20 guests in order to maintain the exclusivity and family nature of the evening.
