I’ve been looking all over the internet for “My Life with Bohuslav Martinů,” a 2021 “feature documentary” (it’s only an hour long and looks more like a dramatization), and I’ve finally found it – in Czech!
There are no English titles, so if you’re interested and you’re not a native speaker, you’ll have to employ an external program for translations. I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m looking forward to doing so before this year’s Bard Music Festival, devoted to “Martinů and His World.”

Here’s the trailer:
“Martinů and His World” will be held over two weekends, August 8-10 and 14-17, at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. More about it here:
I’ll be heading up there today, departing within the hour, as a matter of fact, to “Czech out” the first fully-staged U.S. production of Bedřich Smetana’s 1868 opera “Dalibor.” I previewed it more extensively in another post earlier this week.

Remaining performances will take place at Bard College’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts today at 2 p.m., July 30 at 2 p.m., and August 1 at 4 p.m.
If it sounds enticing, but you can’t make it, the July 30 matinee will be available for livestreaming, in real-time, with an encore broadcast on August 2 at 5 p.m. You can learn more here:

No time to smooth this. Gotta run!
