Rapper M¥SS KETA visits the Fléda club. It will be her first ever concert in the Czech Republic

The Italian rapper and performer M¥SS KETA, who has been hiding her face and identity throughout her career, will perform in Brno. She will present her show for her new album Club Topperia at the Fléda club for the Czech premiere. The rapper has been hiding her face and identity her whole career.

M¥SS KETA is releasing a new album after two years. On Club Topperia, she invites listeners to a dreamy nightclub full of freedom. The record brings a critique of how dating is disappearing from the club environment at the expense of empty fun. “When you meet people at night, you talk to them. That’s what opens your mind more than anything else you do in a club. It’s about the people you meet when you come out of your shell,” explains M¥SS KETA to i-D magazine. The album’s songs feature the rapper’s role models, such as Silvia Calderoni and Francesca Cipriani, who have influenced her artistic identity. M¥SS KETA will perform on 12 November 2022 at 20:00 in the Brno club Fléda.

M¥SS KETA’s music represents a diverse mix of club genres. At the beginning of her career, she claimed attention by fusing electro, house, and R&B. Later, however, her sound opened up to pop and disco rhythms. The musician is intrinsically linked to Milan’s fashion scene and the local LGBTQ+ community. The singer is also known for her hypersexualized stylings, and her performances also include distinctive dance performances. An unmistakable element of M¥SS KETY’s artistic presentation is the face-obscuring veil, which the singer used long before the start of the queer pandemic.

M¥SS KETA has hidden her civilian identity throughout her career. She presents only her own fictional biography as the so-called Myssketian mythology. According to this, M¥SS KETA was born in 2013 as “a sensual Venus born in the shell of the Milanese club scene.” The truth is that the musician rose to fame that very year with the song “Milano, Sushi & Coca”, which ironically celebrates the local nightlife. After several successful club singles, the local personality has gradually become an international star. The debut album “L’angelo Dall’occhiale Da Sera” (2016) was released by M¥SS KETA while still under the banner of the independent collective Motel Forlanini. Further albums “UNA VITA IN CAPSLOCK” (2018), “PAPRIKA” (2019) and the dystopian EP "IL CIELO NON È UN LIMITE" (2020) have already been released under Universal. The major label has opened the performer’s doors to well-known addresses such as Badaboum in Paris, Berghain in Berlin and the Melt festival.

The Brno Philharmonic's New Year's concert on 1 January at the Janáček Theatre is already a well-established tradition. This year was no exception, and the orchestra, led by conductor Michel Tabachnik, gave a performance consisting mainly of works by Johann Strauss the Younger. This was the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra's show opening the 'Strauss Year'. After all, 2025 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of the composer, dubbed the king of waltzes. Strauss's compositions were accompanied by works by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Richard Strauss and Dimitri Shostakovich.  more

The now world-famous Swedish band Dirty Loops finished their autumn European tour on Saturday, 30 November at Brno's Metro Music Bar. The band featured on the programme of the seventeenth annual Groove Brno funk, soul and jazz festival. The virtuoso trio, consisting of Jonah Nilsson - vocals and keyboards, Henrik Linder - bass guitar and Aron Mellergård - drums, are famous for their flawless technical proficiency, sophisticated original compositions and cover versions of well-known numbers, especially pop songs. However, these songs are often reharmonised in their arrangements and the style is more a combination of disco, pop and jazz fusion. To avoid having to resort to using pre-recorded backing tracks, the trio was joined on tour by keyboardist and vocalist Kristian Kraftlingmore

Ensemble Opera Diversa put a distinctive "spin" on its last orchestral concert of the year. It took place on 26 November at the Alterna music club, which is more a rock, electronica and indie pop hangout than an artistic music venue. The pair of selected pieces consisting of Vojtěch Dlask's premièred work Querell Songs for soprano saxophone and strings and Miloslav Ištvan's Hard Blues for pop-baritone, soprano, reciter and chamber ensemble also reflected this. Naturally, it was Ištvan's Hard Blues that gave the evening its name - the clash of the artistic, composed and purposefully "artistic" world (not meant pejoratively) with authentic African-American musical expressions springing from the depths of the soul of a man tested by life formed as the centre of the evening. This was not merely a stylistic inspiration, but more thematic, which was also evident in the opening piece of the evening. This was the composition Querelle Songs, inspired by Jean Genet's novel, previously dedicated to Ensemble Opera Diversa, but this time in a new instrumentation.  more

Leoš Janáček's (1854-1928) Moravian national opera Jenůfa was brought to Brno for the Janáček Brno 2024 festival by the Moravian Theatre Olomouc in a co-production with the Janáček Opera NdB. Rather than using the Czech title Její pastorkyňa, the production team, headed by director Veronika Kos Loulová, decided to stage the work as Jenůfa, the name under which it is performed abroad. On Wednesday, 20 November, five days after its première in Olomouc, the audience at the Mahen Theatre could also see the latest domestic take on Janáček's most widely performed opera. The musical staging of the significantly modified original version from 1904 was the work of conductor Anna Novotná Pešková, and the main roles were played by Barbora Perná (Jenůfa), Eliška Gattringerová (Kostelnička), Josef Moravec (Laca Klemeň) and Roman Hasymau (Števa Buryja).  more
