A portrait of the opera singer Soňa Červená at the time of her return from exile to her beloved Prague after 1989. The rose symbolizes her lifelong role as Carmen, which she performed more than 150 times on all the world’s leading opera stages. Soňa Červená, daughter of the well-known cabaret artist Jiří Červený, began her singing career with the role of Káča in Divotvorný hrnec (The Magic Pot) at the Liberated Theatre of J. Voskovec and J. Werich in Prague. Her first opera engagement was with the Brno Opera. After emigrating from Berlin to the West in 1958, she appeared on all the major opera stages of Europe and America, where she also helped bring the works of Leoš Janáček to wider recognition.
