Monika Absolonová was supposed to be the star of the February spa ball. In an interview with the spa magazine PRAMEN, the famous singer lamented how much she would like to indulge in wellness, but she doesn't have time for it. She also revealed how she was looking forward to the peak of the social season in Janské Lázně and why she likes balls.
How did you spend the autumn, which was significantly affected by the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic? You seem to have become a passionate cottager...
At home with our family or cleaning the cottage we bought just before the second wave broke out.
What impact do the restrictions caused by the coronavirus have on artists like you?
Big, I can't work, not only me, but also other colleagues in the industry. For some of them, the second wave is liquidation.
How do you deal with these inconveniences? That is, if it is possible?
I try not to think about it and sometimes save money, which is not easy. Of course, I would prefer to work more than anything, but I understand and respect the regulations.
What are your plans for this year?
I don't usually make plans and after last year I think I won't be the only one. I would like to do everything we couldn't do due to the pandemic. For example, concerts with Boom! Band, theater performances and also the Christmas tour.
On Saturday, February 27, 2021, you were supposed to appear at a national ball in the Art Nouveau Colonnade in Janské Lázně. Do you like attending balls?
Yes, especially as a performer. I love the atmosphere and the fact that everyone is beautifully dressed and in a good mood. And I don't think I've ever sung at your place before, so I was looking forward to it even more.
Janské Lázně, as its name suggests, is a spa facility in the Krkonoše Mountains. Therefore, we can't help but ask: What about you and spa stays? Do you go on wellness stays regularly, or is it a random choice when you have free time and other circumstances arise?
We have two small children, boys aged two and five. I don't even remember going on a wellness stay. It's basically an unfulfillable wish. However, if there was an opportunity, I would really enjoy it.
Do you engage in other activities to take care of your physical fitness or health?
Yes, I try to run fairly regularly, even though sometimes it doesn't work out.
In February, during the ball, the winter season in the Krkonoše Mountains also peaks. How are you doing with your skiing?
Pretty good, if I remember correctly. However, the last time I skied was in 2017 in Pec pod Sněžkou.
Thank you for the interview and we look forward to seeing you in Janské Lázně on another occasion!
