Artiste: Jiří Heřman

Armida offers a compelling story, resonant issues and the spectacle of dueling wizards – but unfortunately, not in this production.

Jakub Hrůša leads a musically thrilling but dramatically problematic From the House of the Dead and Glagolitic Mass at the 2022 Janáček Brno International Festival.

Jiři Herman’s staging is authentically Japanese and focuses on the deliberate injustice of Butterfly's treatment, with strong performances in the lead roles.
