Classical Music
Director David Radok and his Rusalka as a fateful drama about unfulfilled desires and human failure, about the contradictory conflict between love and erotic desire, a drama about the sinful human soul. The production will be another contribution to the Year of Czech Music. Since its creation, Dvořák's Rusalka has been one of the most beloved and performed Czech operas, not only thanks to its beautiful and unique music, but also to Jaroslav Kvapil's poetic and timeless libretto, which conceals endless symbolism. The theme is perfect for David Radok, who will create a multilayered production full of strong emotions for the first time in the Czech Republic.
David Radok's set design is based on the concept of Rusalka by set designer Lars-Ake Thessman, presented at the GöteborgsOperan in 2012.
PAVEL ČERNOCH 50
The spectacular birthday celebration of tenor Pavel Černoch at the Špilberk Festival was interrupted by a storm. We therefore moved the replacement concert to the Janáček Theater so that the weather would not surprise us again. We believe that all listeners of the festival concert, for which we had contact, have already received tickets to the Janáček Theater on the new date. If you bought the concert as part of the Špilberk festival physically in advance and you do not yet have the new replacement tickets, please contact us at predprodej@filharmonie-brno.cz, we will agree with you on the next procedure. If the new date does not suit you, you can return your tickets until the end of 2024.
Manon Lescaut
Love knows no bounds, guilt falls into oblivion, but my love will not die... The beautiful Manon is no stranger to any weakness - she wanted the love of the young knight Des Grieux and a life of luxury and wealth that only the old banker Géront can provide... But everything has its price and not even love can save everything. “Manon is a heroine I believe in, and that's why you can't help but win the hearts of the audience. Why couldn't there be two operas about Manon? A woman like Manon can have more than one lover. Massenet feels her like a Frenchman, with powder and minuets. I will feel it like an Italian, with a desperate passion," declared Puccini determinedly, when his publisher tried to talk him out of composing an opera on a theme that had already been set to music. And he did well, because Manon Lescaut has been one of his great successes since its premiere in Turin in 1893. He kept what he promised and offered his audience passion, despair and hope that overcomes even the tragic end of the main characters. After all, love never dies.
Veselá vdova
The idea for The Merry Widow was found by librettist Leo Stein in the form of a French comedy, which he discovered by chance while rummaging through the library on a visit. The originally intended composer was not interested and the choice fell on the young Franz Lehár. If it was an intervention of fate, then he turned out to be very lucky. Lehár, with a Hungarian mother and a Moravian father, apparently had a flair for melodies, swing and wit thanks to his mixed family heritage. The Merry Widow's number is every little musical gift, and melodies like U Maxima jsem znam, the song about Vilije, Women, women and others quickly became famous. Lehár also became famous thanks to The Merry Widow, and today his operetta is also in the repertoire of the New York MET. The Merry Widow is returning to the Brno stage after almost thirty years, and an already experienced team will take over. Director Magdalena Švecová, together with choreographer Martin Pack and artists Zuzana Přidalová and David Janošek, are the authors of the great and rich productions of Ferda Mravenc and La bohème. So you can look forward to the charm of Paris at the turn of the century with more pageantry.
Brno Philharmonic: Drummer beats
Someone wise said that playing drums is like living in a toy store. Everyone can play with something completely different here for a while! And what can be played? And do drummers even need instruments? And isn't there a bit of a drummer in each of us? An interactive concert in which children appear as equal partners of the musicians and are literally "within their reach". No sitting on chairs, but lots of musical entertainment for 3 to 6 year olds. moderated by: Kristýna Drášilová and Magdalena Dostálová Performer: Kristýna Švihálková (percussion) Venue: Meeting House
French esprit and Spanish passion are hidden in the music of Bizet's Carmen. Finally, who does not know the immortal opera hits - the famous Habanera or the aria of the toreador Escamillo. But what if there is something more hidden behind the story of love's flightiness?
YOUNG BLOOD or MUSIC CLOSE UP IV
The Orchestral Academy of the Brno Philharmonic (OAFB) is a project that enables young talented musicians – students or recent graduates of music schools accepted on the basis of a selection process – to gain orchestral practice in a professional ensemble. In this way, the Philharmonic trains new generations of players who may one day join its ranks. The OAFB has been operating for six seasons and its fruits are already evident: some of its graduates are already members of our orchestra, others regularly return to help out. The importance and value of this experience for the artistic growth of young musicians and for the future of the orchestra is thus indisputable.

Její pastorkyňa
Worse than a scar on the face are scars on the soul.
Her Shepherdess is one of Janáček's most famous works and is a permanent part of the repertoire of the Brno Opera. It started with a realistic drama by Gabriela Preissová, which the composer himself adapted into the form of an opera libretto. Although he had to significantly shorten the text of the drama, he succeeded in deepening the effect of the tragic story from the Moravian countryside. The spendthrift and fickle Števa, the fierce and yet at heart kind Laca, and above all the inexorable Kostelnička, whose efforts to maintain her position and respect in the village community will lead her to murder the child of her shelter, Jenůfa. Janáček (1854–1928) captured the individual characters in a masterly dramatic shorthand that is chilling and at the same time evokes compassion and understanding in us. The final form of the work, marked by the death of the composer's daughter Olga, led to a long and thorny road. After the successful premiere in Brno in 1904, her pastor had to wait twelve long years before Janáček's efforts were crowned with well-deserved success on other domestic and foreign stages.
Soli deo Gloria: Andrew Balio and Anna Ester Chlebanová Petříková
Come and listen to the beautiful work of Johann Sebastian Bach performed by Andrew Balio, principal trumpeter of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and Czech organist Anna Ester Chlebanová Petříková. The compositions will be performed in unique transcriptions for trumpet and organ by Andrew Balio, who during his long career has worked in a number of prestigious symphony orchestras, such as the Orquesta Sinfónica del Estado de México, the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Anna Ester Chlebanová Petříková is a promising Czech organist, graduated from the HAMU in Prague, and has performed with the Prague Symphony Orchestra and the Pardubice Chamber Philharmonic. The concert will take place as part of the European part of the Soli deo Gloria tour. Andrew Balio and Anna Ester Chlebanová Petříková will perform together in six concerts in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
SPRING CONCERT OF CANTILENS
Perhaps the most popular composition for the celebration of spring is the cantata "Opening the Wells" by Bohuslav Martinů, which is why it will appear again after some time on the program of the spring concert. It will be complemented, among other things, by Slovak folk songs newly arranged by Kantiléna's "court pianist" Marko Paľa and the premiere of a playful series written by František Fiala, who has recently collaborated with Kantiléna repeatedly.

Bartered Bride
The plot takes us to a village where Jeník and Marenka live, two young people who like each other. However, Mařenka is to marry the son of a rich farmer, Mícha, to whom her father is in debt. But the young girl is not going to just give up her love and refuses to marry the chosen groom. Jeník does it smartly and uses matchmaker Kecal. But he and Mařenka don't talk about their plans and the whole thing gets a little messy... Ondřej Havelka created a masterfully played musical theater that is based on beautiful folk traditions, but at the same time found a unique perspective on the whole opera. It takes place not, as is usually the custom, in the summer during the harvest, but during the carnival, or as we call the carnival in Moravia! So you can look forward not only to the comedians in the 3rd act, but also to a number of true Moravian carnival masquerades.

In the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, the world premiere of the organ meditation entitled Méditation avant la Messe des pauvres by composer Peter Graham will be heard, followed by the mysterious Messe des pauvres (Mass of the Poor) by Erik Satie. This composition, full of mystery and meditative power, was created for deep concentration and inner contemplation. Organist Jaroslav Šťastný and the Brno Academic Choir under the direction of Pavel Šnajdr will bring the audience an unforgettable spiritual experience in which the past meets the present.

And three voices that sound outside the mainstream – but all the more powerful. The Slovak ensemble EnsembleSpectrum brings a program that connects musical solitaires, experimenters and artistic outsiders. Julius Eastman, James Tenney and Juraj Vajó – three personalities whose music defies conventions and finds beauty in unusual harmonies and radical formal approaches. EnsembleSpectrum is gaining more and more attention for its precision and at the same time the courage to seek unusual sound possibilities. This concert is a tribute not only to Satie, but also to all those who are looking for new paths in music.

And so the project will pay tribute to this tireless inspirer with music that will be (as John Cage predicted more than eighty years ago) “created by electrical devices.

How is an opera made? Workshop for 1st - 5th grade elementary school
Workshop for 1st – 5th grade elementary school What, but especially who, is needed to create an opera performance? And what would it be like if children became set designers, costume designers, or even an orchestra for a while? We will find out together at the workshop How Opera is Made! So what will we experience together: Getting to know the opera genre and some opera works. We will find out who works in the opera. We will try out some professions. We will learn selected theatrical terms. We will sing.
We are from Bohemia and you ask if we can sing? An unknown couple from abroad arrives in a small Czech village and most of the locals watch them with distrust. Only the old teacher Benda, a music lover, opens his door to them, only to discover that the foreigners are closer to them than one might think. Music in the main role, this is how Dvořák's opera Jacobin could be summarized, because it is precisely music that can change the fate of all the characters in the opera. At the same time, Dvořák created a charming picture of a Czech town from the Enlightenment period populated by the peculiar figures of the music-loving teacher Benda, his stubborn daughter Terinka in love with the teacher's young man Jiřík, or the pompous burgrave Filip. Perhaps it was a fond memory of the circumstances of his own youth that brought so many charming, rich melodies, both playful and melancholic, to Dvořák's music, whether it be the famous scene of the school cantata, the duet "We Wandered Abroad" or Juliet's Lullaby. What better opera to start the season of the Year of Czech Music than Jacobin, Dvořák's tribute to Czech music and the people who love it above all else?

Thirty years after this event, the creators of this year's New Music Expo decided to reach out to other composers to contribute their own "pieces" to this breathtaking collection. A selection from that 1995 project will be performed, enriched with compositions commissioned by the New Music Expo 2025 festival, which will be given their world premiere.

The music of Bizet's Carmen hides French esprit and Spanish passion. After all, who doesn't know immortal opera hits - the famous Habanera, or the aria of the bullfighter Escamillo. But what if there's something more hidden behind the story of the fleeting nature of love? At the beginning was a short novel by the French writer Prosper Merimée about Don José, who deserted the army because of a foolish passion for a wild gypsy, became a smuggler and a murderer. Carmen, directed by Tomáš Pilar, returns to the original story and reveals additional layers of individual characters - the characters here are mainly people who came from completely different backgrounds. It's not just about Carmen's fleeting and unbridled love, which the jealous José cannot cope with. It is a clash of two worlds – the orderly, neat world of José and Micaëla, bound by predetermined rules, and the world of gypsies and smugglers living day to day, without laws and governed by momentary impulses. Their worlds suddenly intersect, but this difference creates tension and a clash that leads to the complete destruction of both of them. Neither of them is able to prevent it, because neither is willing or able to back down.
