Performer: Jana Hrochová

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.

National Theatre Brno brings David Radok’s 2014 staging of Janáček’s Makropulos Case to the Hong Kong Arts Festival, the opera's first-ever journey to Asia, with Annalena Persson in the lead.

It's not for nothing that Janáček's opera is properly titled Její pastorkyňa (Her Stepdaughter). Karita Mattila's Kostelnička was at the centre of a powerful concert performance of Jenůfa.
