Dear fans, we are forced to cancel upcoming concert “The Musical World of Harry Potter 2,” which was placed on 10th October 2021. Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic has confirmed that there is a limit of performers who are allowed to perform during indoor events. This covid restriction is a huge complication for our concert. So we have decided to not postpone our concert again but cancel it. All customers will recieve their money via Colosseum Ticket Company no later than 31st October 2021.

We are very sorry for this situation. Thank you for your understanding.
