A Concert for Two Senses: The Daniela Flejšarová & Magdalena Kožená Exhibition in Prague

This exhibition showcases donated dresses worn by mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená on concert stages, designed by fashion designer Daniela Flejšarová. It highlights the long-term collaboration between the singer and designer, where costumes sensitively reflect the music and underline the performer's personality.

At the close of last year, the renowned mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená generously offered a significant portion of her concert wardrobe to the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague. Following consultations with fashion designer Daniela Flejšarová, who has been dressing Kožená for nearly three decades, the decision was made to donate these remarkable dresses to the museum's textile collections. This donation presented an exceptional opportunity for the museum to enrich its holdings of historical and contemporary fashion. The exhibition celebrates the enduring and harmonious collaboration between two artists from different creative fields. Magdalena Kožená and Daniela Flejšarová share a dedication to achieving flawless artistic and aesthetic results, creating a 'concert for two senses.' Visitors familiar with Kožená's performances will recognize her distinctive visual presence, accentuated by dresses that are not merely stage costumes but wearable art pieces. These creations sensitively interpret the musical performances, simultaneously enhancing the singer's personal expression and stage persona.

Admission is CZK 80 for full price and CZK 40 for concessions. Visitors can purchase tickets and find information about visiting hours on the museum's website. The exhibition is located in the main building of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague.
