The Moon was shining a little brighter than usual in Brno on Friday thanks to The Excursions of Mr Brouček directed by Robert Carsen and the atmosphere you succeeded in creating during the ceremonial opening of the International Janáček Brno Festival! Thank you!

We had the honour of welcoming distinguished visitors to the ceremonial premiere at the Janáček Opera – Prime Minister Petr Fiala, Mayor of Brno Markéta Vaňková, Minister of Culture Martin Baxa and Minister of Health Vlastimil Válek.

The festival has launched at rocket speed and there are still countless performances, concerts and other events of various kinds in store for you. You can find the entire festival programme here.

And if you are unable to attend the festival in person, then don’t miss the live broadcasts that are to be made available in co-operation with our principal media partners Czech Radio and Czech Television and the platform OperaVision.
