Culture
The country has a rich cultural heritage and has given the world some excellent artists. When it comes to music, the three main names that automatically comes to one's mind are Bedrich Smetana, Antonin Dvorak, and Leos Janacek. Smetana wrote his major works in the late 19th century and based much of his music on Czech folk songs and dances. His famous opera The Bartered Bride (1866) provided a comic portrayal of Czech national life. Dvorak was also known for incorporating Czech folk music into his works. Janacek, whose career reached its height in the early 20th century, used the styles of Moravian folk music in the composition of his operas.
