The organizers of the memorial service ask attendees not to bring donations. Photography will not be allowed in the hall for discretionary reasons. Condolence books will be prepared immediately. After the theater farewell, the floral gifts will be taken to an impromptu memorial site near the entrance to the Vysehrad cemetery, where they will be placed until the evening hours of September 3. Here, too, it will be symbolically possible to say goodbye to your favorite singer and maybe even light a candle.
