The Šumperk band Byt číslo 4 released their debut album Čtyři stěny in May 2024, summarizing their work from the first two years of their career.

At the beginning of October 2024, 20 years have passed since the opening of the Musical Stage. The opinions of many naysayers who claimed in 2004 that the Brno City Theatre would own an unused, useless building after a few seasons now seem like just smiling memories. The Brno musical stage has already permanently entered the (not only) Czech theatre map, and the list of premieres listed here is filled with new productions every year, whether they are premieres of original titles or performances of classic musicals. In connection with the celebrations of this anniversary, we have decided to return to a musical that many audiences still remember today. Thanks to almost 150 reruns that have taken place since the premiere in 2007, when people hear the name The Witches of Eastwick, they often think of this production rather than the original book or film, which brought Petr Štěpán the prestigious Thalia Award for his portrayal of the demonic Darryl Van Horn.

Bedřich Smetana originally thought of a comic opera with librettist Eliška Krásnohorská. In the end, while composing his last completed opera, the composer found moments in the romantic text, inspired by an old legend about a wall of stones built by the devil on the river by the Vyšehrod monastery, that gave the whole story a different tone. Smetana's isolation in Jabkenice and his dismal health and depression were reflected in the individual characters, and the comicalness was replaced by the depth of their feelings. The humor did not disappear either, but it is combined with the desire for love, life wisdom, melancholy and devilish temptation, so that the main tone was a celebration of love, loyalty and dedication.

“Musically, tango may not be important, its only meaning is the one we give it…” (Jorge Luis Borges)

On the most successful album of the world-famous Astor Piazzolla it is written: Nuevo tango = Tango + Tragedy + Comedy + Brothel, a drama expressing a unique evening in the story of music that has become mythology, fashion and a feeling of life. The original-sounding Tango Quartetto Re Campo portrays this atmosphere from the beginnings of tango, through Astor Piazzolla to the unique compositions of Petr Zámečník, where tango may not be musically important and where its only meaning is the one we give it...
