Countertenor Philippe Jaroussky and soprano Emoke Bar�th appear on the soundtrack of a 2022 film by the award-winning Czech director Petr V�clav. Called Il Boemo (The Bohemian), it tells the story of the Prague-born composer Josef Myslivecek (1737-1781). He became a major figure on Europe's operatic scene, achieving particular renown in Venice, Naples and Munich and composing more than two dozen operas in all. Myslivecek is also notable for being a friend and colleague of Mozart, whom he first met in Bologna in 1770. Both Philippe Jaroussky and Emoke Bar�th make on-screen appearances - as operatic performers - in Il Boemo. V�clav Luks conducts Collegium 1704, the period-instrument ensemble he founded in Prague in 2005.
