This year, however, the concert is even more special – Red Hot Chili Peppers Revival is celebrating 20 years on stage! The band from Brno has been bringing fans an authentic experience since 2005.

AC/CZ is one of the most distinctive AC/DC revivals in the Czech Republic. They have been performing for more than ten years and have played hundreds of concerts at home and in Europe. Their show offers an accurate interpretation of classic riffs and the iconic AC/DC sound, from uncompromising rhythms to an indispensable guitar show in the style of Angus Young.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the band's founding, we are organizing this exceptional event. We will play songs that you haven't heard for a long time and then won't hear again until at least another similar anniversary. As part of our set, you can look forward to exclusive guests. Originally, we wanted to choose the club where we have historically played the most times (albeit at the original address), which is Melodka. However, Melodka eventually fell into temporary limbo, so the event is moving to the no less amazing Kabinet MÚZ. And who have we invited as accomplices? Well, the bands with whom we have historically appeared at joint events the most times - THE DESPERATE MIND, LORD SKULL and BEACH BUM. But celebrating our ten-year existence is not the only reason why this already smells like a legendary party. So, come and see us! More info soon.

Club season is slowly knocking on the door and that only means that the band PSH is once again heading out on the next leg of their Endless Tour!

You can expect an absolutely legendary dictation and of course some physical media and merch if you want to make yourself or someone else happy under the tree.

AFTERNOON CHRISTMAS CONCERT Czech and Moravian Christmas Carols Jakub Jan Ryba: Czech Christmas Mass "Hey, Master!" Pavlína Švestková soprano, Marie Vrbová alto, Jan Kožnar tenor, Václav Jeřábek bass Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno, choirmaster Petr Fiala Camerata moravica, conductor Joel Hána

Performed in the Czech original with Czech and English subtitles. Concert duration: 2 hours, 1 intermission Concert performance. Affectionately nicknamed Rybovka, it was created in 1796 and is by the Czech composer Jakub Jan Ryba, who also wrote his own Czech text for the mass. Although Ryba respected parts of the Latin musical mass, he actually created a pastoral play about the announcement of Christ's birth and the arrival of the shepherds to the manger, which, thanks to its fresh and joyful melodies, became immediately popular and even today, more than two hundred years after its creation, is an integral part of the Christmas season. However, Ryba's Mass was not the only one at the time of its creation; one of its predecessors is the charming work of the Moravian cantor Josef Schreier, Missa pastoralis in C boemica, also known as the Moravian Christmas Mass "Listen, Miko, listen!", which was created around 1755. Schreier's Mass is actually a series of small pastorals that humorously mix Latin text with texts in the Wallachian dialect. Its musical style is based largely on Moravian folk music of the late Baroque period, making it an interesting counterpart to Ryba's classicist Mass.

If you want to say goodbye to 2025 with humor and elegance, we can recommend the New Year's Eve program at the Janáček Theatre. The National Theatre Ballet has prepared a special New Year's Eve program for you - a slightly different Nutcracker, or New Year's Eve without the Nutcracker. Choreographer Markéta Pimek Habalová has already prepared the extremely successful Cinderella ballet for the NdB Ballet, which has entertained and moved entire families not only here, but also in China or Finland. She has recast the classic ballet pearl Swan Lake into a humorous version, and at the end of 2023 we presented her distinctive, light-hearted vision of the Nutcracker. You can look forward to Tchaikovsky's music, traditional and unconventional costumes, and above all, lots of unexpected funny scenes.

Brno Philharmonic 70 The Brno State Philharmonic was established on January 1, 1956, by the merger of two ensembles: the Brno Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Brno Region Symphony Orchestra. On the same day, a concert was held at the Stadium on Kounicova Street, conducted by Zbyněk Mrkos, featuring works by P. I. Tchaikovsky, but still under the auspices of the regional orchestra. Nevertheless, this event can be considered the de facto concert debut of the Philharmonic, which has been organizing its New Year's concerts regularly since then (with the exception of 2021, when the concert was canceled due to the pandemic), symbolically not only welcoming the arrival of the new year, but also celebrating its birthday, which will be its seventieth in 2026.

The plot takes us to a village where Jeník and Mařenka live, two young people who love each other. However, Mařenka is to marry the son of a rich farmer, Mícha, to whom her father is in debt. However, the young girl is not going to just give up her love and refuses to marry the chosen groom. Jeník is clever and uses the matchmaker Kecal. However, he and Mařenka do not tell each other about their plans and the whole thing gets a bit confusing... Ondřej Havelka has created a masterfully played musical theatre that is based on beautiful folk traditions, but at the same time has found a unique perspective on the entire opera. It takes place not, as is usually the case, in the summer during the harvest festival, but during the time of Masopust, or as we call it in Moravia, Fašanka! So you can look forward not only to comedians in the 3rd act, but also to a series of genuine Moravian Fašanka masquerades.

Without borders or beyond? How long will the true love of Rosina and Almaviva, which was supposed to be forever, last, and when will the innocent flirtation with Cherubino turn into something much more serious? Where are the boundaries in human relationships… After the successful production of Handel's Alcina, director Jiří Heřman and I will set out to discover the beauties of Mozart's music and his opera, which enjoys unwavering popularity all over the world. And it is no wonder, because The Marriage of Figaro, in addition to brilliant and sparkling music that will sweep you away with its incessant flow similar to a mountain stream, also boasts an almost dramatic libretto. And how could it not, when the basis for Da Ponte was the play of the same name by the excellent French playwright Pierre de Beaumarchais.

The Epiphany concert, which is organized by the Diocesan Charity Brno at the Music Stage of the Brno Municipal Theatre, serves as a way to thank the carol singers for their dedication and help in implementing the Epiphany collection. Another reason for organizing the concert is to present the Diocesan Charity projects, on which funds raised thanks to the Epiphany collection were spent, to the general public. During the concert, specific projects implemented thanks to the Epiphany collection will be presented. At the same time, the audience in the auditorium, as well as television viewers - since it will be a live recording broadcast by Czech Television - will have the opportunity to send gift DMS, which can be used to contribute to charity projects.

The concert will feature original arrangements of classical, film, pop and rock melodies performed by cellos and double bass. This group of four exceptional musicians offers original arrangements of not only classical, but also jazz, film, rock and pop melodies. Their concerts combine music with a strong sense of humor, entertaining audiences of all ages, including children. The video clips of this quartet have received millions of views around the world. The Prague Cello Quartet will present the best of their work at the concert, such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Game of Thrones, Moulin Rouge or The Phantom of the Opera. They will also perform film hits, popular songs (Queen, Coldplay, U2), or classical music. The ensemble currently consists of Jan Zvěřina (cello, leader), Juraj Škoda (cello), Michal Haring (cello) and Tomáš Otevřel (double bass).

The musical drama, playing with the fates, love story and history of friendship of these unforgettable women based on the story by David Winterberg, premiered in 2014 at the Burgtheater in Vienna, where it met with disarming success. It is no wonder, after all, during the production almost two dozen immortal songs of both protagonists will be heard (of course, live, performed by the actresses)! Our theatre presented this production in its Czech premiere on November 7, 2015 at the Dramatic Stage in the directorial concept of Stanislav Moša, under the musical direction of Karel Cón and directed by Igor Ondříček.

In November 2021, American writer Noah Gordon died at the age of 95. He entered the history of world literature primarily with his trilogy The Cole Dynasty, which deals with the history of medicine in great detail and in an informative manner. The most famous is probably the first part, the novel known in our country as Ranhojič from 1987 (followed by loose sequels The Shaman (1992) and The Doctor (1995)). Based on Ranhojič, a globally successful German film was also made in 2013 with Tom Payne and Ben Kingsley in the lead roles.
