Divadlo (Theatre)
The best 100 singers from the regional auditions advanced to Divadlo (Theatre). The contestants first emerged on stage in groups of 9 or 10 and performed a solo unaccompanied. Those who did not impress the judges were eliminated after the group members finished their individual performances. The remaining contestants then formed same-sex trios and had to perform given songs accompanied with piano. The female trios sang "Modrá" by Jana Kirschner, the male trios performed "Voda, čo ma drží nad vodou" by Elán. The best 50 contestants made it to the semi-finals.
Semi-finals
The 50 contestants who reached this stage were referred to in the show as the semi-finalists. They were divided into groups of 10 and performed live from the studio. From each group, two people advanced to the final round, based on viewers' votes. Below are the five semi-final groups with contestants listed in their performance order.
