Nabucco at Špilberk Castle

Warm summer evenings are best spent under the stars accompanied by music; that is why the Janáček Opera of the National Theatre Brno is once again bringing an opera performance to the romantic setting of Špilberk Castle.

Is Verdi’s famous *Nabucco* merely an opera about the yearning for freedom? Jiří Heřman’s production offers a compelling perspective on the story of the Babylonian king and the Jewish people, centering on family relationships and King Nebuchadnezzar himself. Filled with magnificent choral numbers and captivating vocal parts, this opera has been one of the most popular titles in our repertoire for 35 years.
