The return of a beloved magical musical comedy

Early October 2024 marked the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Musical Theatre stage. In hindsight, the opinions of the many naysayers who claimed in 2004 that the Brno City Theatre would be left with a useless, unused building after just a few seasons now seem like nothing more than amusing memories.

Falling in love without losing one’s head—that is the art of relationships.

Do you need to win love, or perhaps forget it altogether? Dr. Dulcamara’s elixir can do just that! A single bottle is all it takes! Love potions have long been among the most sought-after magical remedies for young men and women alike—recipes for them can still be found online today. It is no wonder, then, that they frequently feature in legends—ranging from ancient tragedies like the tale of Tristan and Isolde to stories with happy endings that have inspired operas.

Donizetti was one of a famous trio of composers whose works dominated Italian stages in the first half of the 19th century and gradually spread across Europe and overseas. Although the plot of his *L’elisir d’amore* (The Elixir of Love)—which premiered in Milan in 1832—was not entirely original (librettist Romani openly borrowed the storyline from an opera by D. Auber), Donizetti’s music ensured that—unlike its French counterpart—it has remained one of the most popular operas from its premiere to the present day. The bittersweet story of the shy Nemorino, who falls for the wealthy Adina and attempts to win her affection with the help of a "love potion," offers a wonderful showcase for the singers; the composer penned a series of beautiful duets and arias for the roles, including Nemorino’s most famous piece, "Una furtiva lacrima."

After two long years, Robin Zoot—one of the most-streamed Czech rappers—returns to Fléda with his solo show! Get ready for one of the most energetic rap performances on the Czech scene, packed with special effects and featuring his biggest hits like "Givenchy," "Dion," "Sezóna," and many more. Prepare for a concert that will tear the roof off the club.

An evening dedicated to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Franz Liszt, and Sergei Rachmaninoff, performed by piano virtuoso Natalia Sklarenko. The concert offers a unique fusion of classical music and visual art, featuring video projections by London-based graphic artist Christian Bodhi. Audiences can look forward to a distinctive artistic experience showcasing some of the most significant and technically demanding works in the piano repertoire.

Admission is voluntary.

Program:

Sergei Rachmaninoff – Sonata No. 2, Op. 36
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky – The Seasons, Op. 37a
Franz Liszt – Nocturne "Liebestraum"
Franz Liszt – Sonata in B minor

An adventurous family musical – world premiere

Long ago, from the land of ice and fire—the land of Norse gods and sagas, of fjords and mythical dragons—rose the Viking realm. It was a proud and conquering nation, a people of warriors for whom honor meant more than life itself. And it was here that the story of our hero, Johan—a brave Viking—began... well, not exactly.

The autumn ballet premiere will mark the symbolic culmination of an era, serving as the final full-length original work by Artistic Director Mário Radačovský during his tenure in Brno.

The upcoming production, titled *The Mask*, represents a striking departure from the grand, epic narratives and biographical stories that have characterized his work to date (such as *Beethoven*, *Coco Chanel*, and *Warhol*). This time, the creator consciously eschews linear storytelling and specific historical facts. The focus will not be on biographical details, but rather on a compelling dialogue between music and the essence of humanity.

In the words of the organizers: Allow yourself to forget the drabness of everyday life and follow your guide into his captivating world. Believe us—you won’t want to leave. After all, who would wish to depart a realm crafted from elegance, entertainment, desire, and sensuality?

At SONO, a space comes to life before your eyes—a place once considered the stuff of wild dreams. Simply step inside and let yourself be captivated by an unforgettable show featuring aerial acrobatics, dance, vocals, and much more.

The OOPS! collective—specializing in productions that blend cabaret with contemporary circus—brings a unique experience to SONO. Expect a light show, stylish costumes, a mysterious narrative, and two hours of entertainment. Audiences will experience a modern cabaret that draws them in and refuses to let go.

The French trio Birds In Row blurs the lines between raw screamo-punk and atmospheric post-hardcore. There is no calculation here—only pure emotional catharsis built on abrasive guitars and neurotic vocals. At Brno’s Kabinet MÚZ, they will showcase their latest album, *Gris Klein*. An intense club experience is guaranteed for fans of bands like Touché Amoré or Converge.

Hailing from Laval, France, the band has risen to the very top of the European independent guitar music scene since its formation in 2009. For years, they were associated with the iconic label Deathwish Inc., releasing genre-defining milestones such as *You, Me & The Violence* and *We Already Lost the World* under its banner. Birds In Row have built a reputation as a band that rejects genre clichés; while their sound is firmly rooted in the legacy of acts like Fugazi or Modern Life Is War, it also possesses a modern post-metal drive and a sense of heavy melancholy.

Friday Night Fever is a Friday party at Metro Music Bar. DJ Cuba6 will be playing.

There were five of them, then one more. The snakes slither gracefully through Brno’s clubs to the thumping kick drum, the scream of sharp guitars, and the moaning of honey-sweet synths. An effort to sound sophisticated—even mature—clashing with the reckless swagger of young bucks, leaves them grappling with the dilemma of defining their own existence on Earth. But that’s not really the point at all. The main thing is that your mom digs it.

Brno, get ready for a massive blast! Club Fléda is set for a night to remember. One of the brightest talents on the current liquid and dancefloor drum & bass scene—ANDROMEDIK—will be unleashing an exclusive headline show here, brought to you by LET IT ROLL! Expect melodic lines, hard-hitting drops, and an energy that will keep you glued to the dancefloor until morning.

Lifelike – 90s sXe hardcore from Prague

The Olomouc-based AC/DC revival group—the Bon Scott Memorial Band—was formed in 2001.

However, this is not just another botched imitation of the sort we have seen far too many of lately.

Akupunktura – acoustic punk on tour! It pricks, it stabs, it brings relief! The greatest punk hits you know, with lyrics you don't!

The Atavists are a Czech rock band influenced by surf and stoner rock. Formed in late 2014, they quickly carved out a niche in the Czech music scene, thanks largely to their energetic live performances.

At the heart of The Atavists' distinctive sound is frontman, guitarist, and main songwriter Adam Krofian, with his deep baritone vocals and crushing guitar riffs. He is backed by the screaming tones of electric organ and synthesizer and a hard-hitting rhythm section.

Beach Bum

A 90s-influenced alternative rock and punk band featuring female vocals. They have been constantly on tour since forming in 2020. Hailing from the Brno-based Kabinet Records label, the band has released an EP and two albums—*T-Rex Goes On Holiday* and *Utopia* (the latter released on blue vinyl).

They have racked up thousands of kilometers on the road, played countless shows in the Czech Republic and abroad, and supported acts like Buzzcocks and DZ Deathrays! This year, they even played in Iceland, becoming only the third Czech band ever to perform there.

For twenty-five years, Alex Hall and Emil Amos have been the driving force behind the sound of the band Grails. Alongside that, they also develop a second project, Lilacs & Champagne, through which they immerse themselves in the world of samples and sound collages. Having spent over two decades traveling the globe as record collectors and DJs, they are now bringing their act to Kabinet MÚZ for a one-night engagement.

On their latest album with Grails, *Miracle Music*, they construct an exotic sonic world built upon minimalist compositions and sound sculptures that balance between a horror-movie atmosphere and a surprisingly sentimental tone.

Norse mythology comes to life! The legendary British stage production *Mythos: Ragnarök* is bringing its unique show to the Czech Republic.

*Mythos: Ragnarök* is a global phenomenon. In the four years since its debut at the famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival, it has become one of the festival's best-selling shows and is now touring the world with its energetic adaptation of Norse mythology. *The Daily Mail* calls it a "phenomenon," *The Telegraph* urges people to "fight for tickets," and countless publications and audience members alike are thrilled by the creation of something truly unique in the world of theater. This groundbreaking production seamlessly blends the comedy and gravitas of Shakespearean drama with the visceral excitement of live combat, thanks to a cast of actors trained in professional wrestling! The result is a witty and engaging retelling of ancient Norse myths and legends, following the relationships and struggles of iconic figures like Thor, Loki, and Freyja as they attempt to build a new world and avert the prophesied apocalyptic battle of Ragnarök. With a stunning array of handcrafted costumes, a cleverly adapted script, hard-rock music, and front-row seats just meters from the action, it is easy to see why the show has earned standing ovations and rave reviews worldwide from fans of theater, mythology, and wrestling alike. *Mythos: Ragnarök* was created in 2021 by English writer and wrestler Ed Gamester and designer Melanie Watson.

Midnight Swimmers, a band formed in London and now based in Prague, made a name for themselves on the Czech indie scene with their debut EP, *Oceans & Seas*. This was followed by a performance at Rock for People 2025 and a spot in the finals of Radio Wave’s "Startér" talent competition. In the spring of 2026, they released their first full-length album, *Odd Ones Out*.

Their music is characterized by indie-rock grooves, melancholic ambient soundscapes, and intimate vocal melodies, combining to create a sound that oscillates between guitar-driven energy and dreamy introspection.

Heima is a band from Łódź, Poland, formed in 2017; they quickly garnered attention for their mature yet bittersweet worldview. Their sound blends guitar-oriented indie rock with thoughtful, socially conscious Polish lyrics penned by frontwoman Olga Stolarek.

A unifying thread runs through all of Leoš Janáček’s compositions: profound humanity and original form. This applies perhaps most strongly to his final two major works—the opera *From the House of the Dead* and the *Glagolitic Mass*. The former offers a concise glimpse into the souls of prisoners, while the latter provides a distinctive expression of faith set to an Old Church Slavonic text. The Janáček Brno 2022 festival saw a unique pairing of these two works; presenting the *Glagolitic Mass* in a staged format as a continuation of *From the House of the Dead* imbues both pieces with a new message regarding faith in humanity.

The prisoners live in the brutal conditions of a Siberian penal colony; behind every name lies a harrowing human destiny—misfortune and wickedness, yet also a spark of hope. Bit by bit, in brief vignettes, Leoš Janáček tells their stories in this singular final work. A creative genius and master of concision, Janáček manages to capture the essence of humanity within a compact scope. Despite the grim conclusion, the score of *From the House of the Dead* begins with the inscription: "In every creature, a spark of God!" This idea links his final opera to another equally unique work, the *Glagolitic Mass*. As Janáček himself put it: "Here, I wished to capture faith in the nation’s certainty—not on a religious foundation, but on a strong moral one that calls upon God as a witness."

Prison, or a ball filled with beautiful women? The choice is easy—provided his wife doesn't find out.

Gabriel Eisenstein is due to serve a one-week jail sentence for contempt of court. At home, he pretends to be heading off to serve his time, but instead goes incognito to enjoy a gala hosted by the exotic Prince Orlofsky.

Tata Bojs is a Prague-based pop-rock band formed in 1988. Its founding members are Milan Cais (drums) and Marek Huňát (aka Mardoša; bass), while other permanent members include Vladimír Bár, Dušan Neuwerth, and Jiří Hradil.

The idea to form the band came to two classmates—Milan Cais (drums) and Marek Huňát (aka Mardoša; bass)—while they were still attending elementary school in Prague’s Hanspaulka district. They recruited guitarist Marek Padevět, who played guitar and sang, and later also played the clarinet. The newly formed Tata Bojs played their first concert on June 29, 1988, in the TJ Spartak Dejvice gymnasium. This marked the beginning of the group's career performing in music clubs across Prague and beyond.

Since their school days, Tata Bojs have released over ten albums, including the successful *Biorytmy*, *Ležatá osmička*, *Jedna nula*, and *Nanoalbum*, the latter of which won four "Golden Angel" awards in 2004.

Moral corruption gives way to divine wrath; the parallels to the present day are intentional, prompting SĽUK to consciously pose a series of unsettling questions to the audience.

Creative animations and large-scale projections, along with the captivating performance of the SĽUK dance ensemble, are complemented by witty theatrical vignettes and spoken commentary from actors František Kovár, Petra Molnárová, and René Štúr.
