The Best Czech Musical Singer of 2022, a Friend of Horses and an Adrenaline Enthusiast. Hana Fialová

Marfusha, Fantine, Eliška Pomořanská, Evita or Edith Piaf. Do you know what these ladies have in common? All of these femmes fatales have been unforgettably portrayed non the stage of the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre by Hana Fialová, winner of the Jantar Award and two-time winner of the Thalia Award. In a friendly, informal chat with Radúz Mácha, chairman of the editorial board of POSITIV magazine, she shared a lot of interesting things about herself.

Hanka, you were born on May 1st. So you were basically a May Day present for your parents. Do you have any childhood memories of parade wands and balloons in the May Day parades?

Yes, I really am a May Day present (laughs). My mother told me that when the ambulance took her away, that it was literally “in  the last minute“. The parades were everywhere and she got to the maternity ward at the last very moment. Of course, I remember the wands. I thought that May Day and the parade with the wands and balloons were for a celebration of my birthday. And I usually liked going to the parade because I was such a little exhibitionist from a young age. However, I do have a not so pleasant memory of the wand. My sister and I used to make our Dad angry, and he was quite strict. One time we got beaten with the wand and not only was the “wand“ three-colored, our butts were as well.

How do you remember your beginnings as a singer? Did you sing as a child, did you go to a singing group?

I used to sing all the time. I think I may have started singing before I started talking. There is a recording where I‘m not even three years old and I‘m singing a Czech song ‚Černé oči, jděte spát‘ there. I remember that as a little kid I liked to watch adult female singers on TV who used vibrato when they sang, I loved to imitate that back then. Can you imagine a three-year-old imitating her favorite singers?

Let‘s jump to 1986. I read that you were the winner of the regional round of the Talent 86 singing competition and made it to the national finals. How do you recall that?

Yes, I was already studying at the conservatory then. I was in the same round with Leona Machálková, who was not as famous back then, and we became friends and even shared a room together. At that time, I was first in the regional round and that‘s why I qualified for the national round. It was something like the Pop Idol. The entire final with ten winners from all over the country was televised. However, I didn‘t go there for personal reasons. I was in love with a guy who had a weekend leave from the army and I preferred to go to see him. I don‘t regret it.

Between 1994 and 2004 you were a solo singer of Red Hats band - what did these 10 years give you?

I remember those years very fondly. The Red Hats were a girl country band and fittingly we all wore red hats. I had some amazing adventures with these girls. We toured Europe - we went to festivals in Italy, Poland and Germany. We even had a separate 14 night tour in England. Also, those years gave me quite a lot of practice in singing because we aren‘t “locked“ into one genre. Country is quite varied, it has elements of pop and swing. So it was a pretty good school.


I think I may have started singing before I started talking.


Since 2003 you have been a member of the musical ensemble of the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre. Next year will be your jubilee, 20 years. How many roles have you performed during that time?

I haven‘t counted, but about seven years ago my friend David Velčovský, who worked as a producer at the time, gave me a big poster as a gift where he listed all of my roles so far. I was amazed at how many there were, I had forgotten many of them. 

In 2014, you won your first Thalia Award because you literally shone in the musical drama Edith and Marlene as Edith Piaf. This year, you won your second Thalia for your role as Áda Harris in the musical Flowers for Mrs Harris. What did these awards bring you?

Of course it brought me great joy, it‘s always about emotions and surprises. It was even more of a surprise the second time, I really didn‘t expect that, in the words of the divine Karel (laughs). But besides the euphoria and joy, it brings a certain responsibility. It‘s a commitment, one  that should always be working. With the first Thalia, there was a period of time when I thought that the role of Edith Piaf and the first Thalia didn‘t bring me anything fulfilling. Fortunately, that period only lasted a short time and I started to like Thalia and the role of Edith Piaf again. The second time was really unexpected and I am very happy about the award. It‘s a kind of glass confirmation that it‘s all working and it makes sense.

Is there anything you haven‘t achieved in your profession at this point? Any special wish or dream?

Of course, there are roles that I really like. I like to joke sometimes about the role of Sally Bowles from the musical Cabaret - I sing the theme song from the musical and think to myself that‘s a role I‘ve never sung. I won‘t sing it anymore because I don‘t have the right age, but I can sing it at events. There are other roles I would like to do, but I tend to just let it happen. I‘ve got Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street coming up now, and I‘ve also got the female lead, Mrs Lovett. That‘s a big challenge for me. 

My big wish is to have a live band behind me, because to have live energy behind you is probably the best thing a singer can ask for.
