Krzyzzy Fountains in Prague

in photography •  8 years ago 

Krzyzzy fountains in Prague are called "singing", although it would be more correct to say "dancing". And not only the fountains dance here, but also the professionals of this business. And to admire this spectacle come from all over Prague (and not only from it).
In itself, the fountain complex in the area of ​​Postavy appeared in 1891. Then he did not sing or dance, but was illuminated by electric lamps, which then only came into fashion. The glass of the lamps was multicolored, and everything as a whole looked ultramodern.

After exactly one hundred years, the Krzyzczyk fountains were altered from and to. They were connected to the computer control, set the speakers, replaced the lighting - and the result was a terrific show, which today, according to the poster, everyone can admire. Moreover, in 2000 a water screen was set up here, on which bright video projections are shown.

Fountains are few, and they all spew stream into a giant pool. In the middle of the pool a scene is mounted. When it gets dark, the best Czech dance groups perform on this stage. The program is very diverse, and you can find out in advance what exactly will be dancing on a specific day, on the official website of Krzyzzy Fountains. It can be a classical ballet or the most modern production. The musical repertoire of fountains is also strikingly wide: from Tchaikovsky to Adele, from Vivaldi to Rihanna, from symphonic to rock and pop music, as well as soundtracks from all famous movies.

Usually during one evening fountains give several performances, which last for 40 minutes. Opening of the "fountain" season takes place in April, closing - in November.
