STYL ROZHOVOR

Markéta Konvičková,

Proud Třinec Native

and a Singing

Engineer

You come from Třinec, you have lived here for twenty-seven years.

Do you consider yourself a patriot of Třinec? How do you describe

the city to your Prague colleagues?

I was unfaithful to Třinec for six years, when I lived in Ostrava for my

university studies. But I always knew I wanted to spend my life in my

hometown. We built a house here a year ago and I‘m glad I‘m close to

my family. My colleagues from Prague are mostly from Třinec as well,

so I don‘t have to describe it to them that much. Ewa Farna, Tomáš Klus,

Lake Malawi and others. I‘m glad I came back here. Family comes first

for me. We have a nice landscape here, nice people and I‘m used to it.

Formerly known as a finalist of Czechoslovak

Superstar, today she is an experienced singer,

mother and graduate of VŠB-TUO. Markéta

Konvičková talked to POSITIV Business & Style

magazine about her hometown, favourite places

in the region and other plans for the future.

Are the local people something specific for you?

Our dialect is very specific. We speak quickly and concisely, but I think

we are fair, wear our hearts on our sleeves. I have no experience with

other regions, so I can‘t compare. We have Třinecké železárny here,

successful hockey and we are proud of the people who have achieved

something from this small town. All the more then, the inhabitants

value those who have stayed here or returned and make a certain

representation of the city.
