The Slovak National Folklore Ballet Lúcnica, famous from its many successful

international tours, known as “The Rolling Stones of Folklore”, is proudly presenting its premiere

“Beautiful and Young - Australia Tour 2010”. 



Lúcnica, inspired by national traditions, will ‘whip’ the audience into a frenzy. It’s a

creation of mastery and fantasy combined with a unique dance and music show based on Slovak

folklore which has triumphed around the world for more than 60 years.


            Skilful young dancers accompanied by the professional orchestra, dressed in many

different colorful handmade costumes with marvelous embroidery, present dynamic and poetic

dances, virtuoso folk tunes and songs from different regions of Slovakia. 


“I have never seen such beauty and richness of traditional national culture, like the one

in Slovakia, in any of the numerous countries I have visited throughout my career,” said Dominik

Hrbatý, the famous Slovak tennis player, two times

Perth Hopman Cup winner and two times

Australian Open singles quarter-finalist.


The ballet includes; the highest level of professional artistic performance, world unique

instruments “Cimbal” and “Fujara” under the UN Heritage; specially selected young girls, some of

whom contested Miss Slovakia, the talent of the soccer nation (conqueror of Italy at FIFA World

Cup), tennis nation (Fed Cup winner, Davis Cup finalist) and ice-hockey nation (World

Champion). 


  There is a hidden power that catches your eye and resonates with senses. The only

Folklore Ballet ever allowed to perform at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden London which

sold out on three consecutive nights!
