Besides songs from classical musicals, this time melodies from rock operas will be heard too. Leading Broadway soloists, LaKisha Jones, Rob Evan, and Morgan James, will perform. LaKisha Jones, a rhythm and blues and gospel singer charmed the USA as one of the top four finalists of the popular competition The American Idol. On Broadway, she sings in the musical The Color Purple produced by Oprah Winfrey. Rob Evan starred in the musical Jekyll & Hyde, playing both the title roles for three years on Broadway.  In 2004 he participated in the highly acclaimed stage project The Musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Two years ago the audience in Český Krumlov also got the opportunity to see him. Morgan James is a multi-genre singer – she sings in the most famous jazz clubs in New York (Birdland, Joe’s Pap and others) but she also performed in Bernstein’s Mass at Carnegie Hall in New York with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. The soloists have performed the Broadway Rocks program on stages all over the world; however, they have prepared some new compositions and arrangements especially for Český Krumlov.  The Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra Olomouc will play under the American conductor Randall Craig Fleischer.
