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.

The production by one of the world's best opera directors, Robert Carsen, had a successful premiere at the Janáček Brno Festival 2016. His productions, with their outstanding individual poetics, dramaturgical restraint and emotional, lively and extremely impressive theatre, have been in the repertoire of the most important opera houses for many years, be it La Scala in Milan, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Glyndebourne Festival in England or the Royal Opera House Covent Garden. Káťa Kabanová is one of Carsen's five productions of Janáček's operas and was originally created for the Flemish Opera. Since its premiere, it has been performed in more than 20 opera houses around the world and it is no wonder that the production with its impressive scenography, where the water surface covers the entire stage and reflects Káťa's emotions and tragic fate, is one of Carsen's best works.

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.
