Carmen and World Junior Miss Pageant Finalists Gave Autographs aboard the Pendolino
In August 2007, SuperCity passengers had the opportunity to meet Andrea Kalivodová, the youngest representative of the role of Carmen in the Czech Republic, and thirty finalists of the Miss Europe & World – Junior Open 2007 competition.
“Today’s journey was truly extraordinary! On the train, Andrea Kalivodová showed off her beautiful Carmen costume and also tried out the role of SuperCity train conductor by inspecting passengers’ tickets,” comments Zbyněk Honys, director of ČD’s Communications Department. “All the passengers had an opportunity to get to know Andrea Kalivodová and other finalists from around the world, and to ask her for an autograph or to pose for a picture.”
“The atmosphere was excellent,” says Andrea Kalivodová, who also took on the role of a graceful conductor. “The passengers were very pleasant when I asked them for their tickets, and often also a little surprised. I like riding the Pendolino; I use it regularly to travel to Vienna, but this time it was a completely new experience for me; I usually don’t wear my costume on the train.”
