Painted on glass

The legendary musical is presented by STARS auditorium. One of the most successful musicals premiered in 1970 in Warsaw. The original lyrics were written by Polish poet Ernest Bryll and the music was composed by composer Katarzyna Gärtner.

The musical was in the repertoire of the Slovak National Theatre for almost 30 years, where it ran for a total of 648 performances. Michal Dočolomanský became famous in the role of Juraj Janosik and songs such as Goodbye or Lipová spoon, Goodbye for dew, Goodbye girl, etc. were written in golden letters in the history of musicals. In 2005, On Glass Painted was staged again by the New Stage Theatre. The director was Ján Ďurovčík.

This time you will see the great Janko Slezák in the role of Janosik, who together with other exceptional musical stars and fantastic dancers of the Slovak Dance Theatre will bring the audience unforgettable musical and dance experiences. You can look forward to well-known hits such as Goodbye Be, We Came to You with Music, I Loved You Girl and many more.

Painted on Glass is more than just a theatrical production, it is a story that unites generations thanks to the immortal legend of the Slovak bandit combined with timeless music and energetic dance.
