The Pre-premiere opera glasses for the opera The Excursions of Mr. Brouček

Join us for evening with the production team and soloists of the new production of Janáček’s opera The Excursions of Mr. Brouček.

This time at a very special venue: The Pre-premiere opera glasses will take place on October 18 from 18:00 at the Brno Observatory and Planetarium.

“You don’t look so bad, you pale fellow up there. Oh, surely your people are happier than us poor earthlings!” calls Matěj Brouček to the Moon shining on Prague. An artist’s fantasy knows no bounds, so why don’t we just set out there with Janáček and find out if Mr Brouček is right.

The motto Without borders!… could also be used to describe the work of director Robert Carsen, who has created productions valued all over the world for their dramatic perception, poetry, humour and artistic sophistication. The path taken by the famous director intersected with the work of the Czech composer many years ago, and today Robert Carsen has productions of six of Janáček’s operas under his belt. He staged a production of Destiny in Brno in 2020, and he is now returning to the stage of the Janáček Theatre to officially open the Janáček Brno 2024 festival with his new production of The Excursions of Mr. Brouček.

None of Janáček’s operas can be called comic; although there is never a lack of humour in them, it tends to be sprinkled judiciously. But in his opera about the landlord from Prague’s Malá Strana, a typically Czech little man, Janáček is sparkling with wit, though here his humour is as sharp as a knife. Janáček based his opera on the popular “Brouček” novels by the poet Svatopluk Čech and set his satire to music to perfection in the dance rhythm of a waltz with the use of unusual instruments such as a glass harmonica and bagpipes. While Janáček aimed his sharp humour at the ranks of Prague’s critics, intellectuals and artists in the first part of the opera, a trip to the moon, the second half set in the times of the Hussites was an attack on the unattractive characteristics of the Czech nation in general.

In a co-production with Teatro Real, Madrid and Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin.

Jakub Hrusa Wins OPUS KLASSIK Conductor of the Year Award

In the 2023 OPUS KLASSIK awards, Jakub Hrůša has received the prestigious title of Conductor of the Year, recognizing his exceptional achievement for his recording of Hans Rott’s Symphony No. 1 with the Bamberg Symphony, released by Deutsche Grammophon.

BBC Music Magazine writes, “Since [the symphony’s] disinterring in 1989, there have been some fine recordings, but surely none more persuasive than this. Jakub Hrůša plainly loves the score and strives to characterise its every detail, drawing lovely playing from the Bamberg Symphony.”

Winners of the prestigious German award are selected by a specialist jury whose members represent the music and media industries.

 

You may listen to the recording at the official pages of the recording company Deutsche grammophon.

 

Sincere congratulations.

Thalia Awards: Jaroslav Březina was the winner in the male opera category for the role of Herod in the production of the opera Salome

The winner in the Male Opera category was Jaroslav Březina, who charmed not only the Brno audience, but also the professional public with the role of Herod in the production of Salome by Richard Strauss, directed by David Radok and set to music by Marek Ivanović. “Jaroslav Březina, in the character of the king, who grants the perverse wish of his stepdaughter Salome and lets her bring the head of the prophet Jochanaan on a silver tray, created an excellent comprehensive study of a vain ruler, domineering and fearful, vainly smug and pitifully whining, teetering between fear of God and by my own desire. His performance was chilling.”

You can visit the production of the opera Salome at the Janáček Theater on Friday, October 27 or Saturday, November 25.

Janáček’s Opera Choir reaps success at the German Ruhrtriennale festival

With the opera From the Dead House, the Janáček Opera Choir visited the Ruhrtriennale festival in Bochum, Germany, where the premiere took place on August 31, 2023. Under the baton of Dennis Russel-Davies and the direction of the stage designer and director Dmitri Tcherniakov, our Janáček opera male choir resounded in the Centennial Hall.

“There are no heroes in a Siberian prison camp. Whether they are poor or rich, educated or uneducated, aristocratic or not – here they are all equal and united by endless horror. Fyodor Dostoyevsky experienced it and described it in minute detail in his Notes from a Dead House. They served Leoš Janáček as a model for his last opera, which appeals to our compassion under the motto »In every creature is the spark of God«. Janáček gives each of the prisoners their own voice just to let them drown in polyphonic anonymity and indifference. Raw sounds and relentless rhythms make the harshness of camp reality almost physically palpable. Star director and scenic designer Dmitri Tcherniakov continues this idea in the enormous dimensions of the Centennial Hall: In a huge installation on the stage, he dissolves the protective separation between the artists: inside and the audience. We live in a ruthless prison world, we are inextricably linked with all the “unfortunates” who live here as the living dead.”

100th anniversary of the birth of opera singer Marie Steinerová

Marie Steinerová, a soloist of the National Theatre Brno and a key representative of the Janáček roles in particular, would have celebrated her 100th birthday on 10 January 2023. The National Theatre Brno will dedicate a performance of Puccini’s Tosca to the singer on 10 February 2023 at the Janáček Theatre. A portrait of the artist will also be on display in the first order foyer of the Janáček Theatre from 10 January.

Marie Steiner, née Štrosová, came from an artistic family. Her father was the actor and musician Miroslav Štros, and her mother Marie Minářová-Štrosová was an opera singer, among others a soloist at the NdB Opera in 1929-1931. Marie Steinerová studied at the State Conservatory under professors Hilbert Vávra and Bela Chalabalová-Rozumová, and as a student she made her debut on the stage of the Ostrava theatre with the title role of Dvořák’s Rusalka (1943). During her studies she gained experience at the Vlasta Burian Theatre, in the opera company of the 5 May Theatre and in the opera of the Ostrava Theatre, where she was engaged from 1946-1948. She regularly appeared as a guest artist in a number of Czech theatres, including the National Theatre in Prague, but her home stage from 1948 until her retirement in 1981 was the National Theatre in Brno.

Her repertoire included heavy dramatic roles, among the most successful of which were Milada in Smetana’s Dalibor, Gretel in The Bartered Bride, Libuše, the Foreign Princess in Rusalka, the title role of Aida in Verdi’s opera, Tosca in Puccini’s opera, Ortrud in Wagner’s Lohengrin and Marina in Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov. A separate chapter are the characters in Leoš Janáček’s operas, which were the singer’s domain: Emilia Marty in The Makropulos Affair, Míla’s mother in Fate, Kabanicha in Kate Kabanová, Jenůfa and especially her beloved Kostelnička in Her Shepherdess. She also often chose Janáček repertoire for her concert performances.

In addition to her own artistic activities, she was a teacher, teaching singing at the Brno Conservatory and the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts. Marie Steinerová is the recipient of numerous awards. In 1954, she won first place in the singing competition for the Emma Destinova Prize, she also received the Senior Prix, the DIVA Prize and the Thalia Prize for lifetime mastery in the field of opera. Until her late teens she was actively interested in cultural, political and sports events, participated in meetings with the audience in the programmes of the Friends of Opera and Ballet Club and worked as a voice consultant.

Janáček Brno festival has had another successful year and record sales

Once again something quite extraordinary has been achieved in Brno – the internationally highly acclaimed Janáček Brno festival brought a world-class programme from 2 to 20 November, to which both the Czech and foreign public reacted positively with large audience numbers. The city where Leoš Janáček lived and worked, and which is essentially linked to the festival is making full use of its assets and with an ever-increasing standard. The festival has proven that even the coronavirus restrictions of last year did not diminish the interest of the audience, which has been demonstrated by the highest sales in the history of the festival. But Janáček Brno 2022 is not over yet – the last “echo” in the form of the performance From the House of the Dead / Glagolitic Mass on 26 November is still scheduled, so the numbers will grow even higher.

In numbers, Janáček Brno 2022 surpassed many limits: an example is the sales of festival tickets, which totalled a record of CZK 4 269 249. The festival was attended by 10 744 paying spectators, so the average attendance was 73,3 %.

During the 19 days, a total of 36 productions were performed, some of which were world premieres or constituted a programme specially created for the festival. The younger generation, led by the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno and the Brno Conservatory, was also given space.

Selected festival photos are available for download on the festival FLICKR.

The Janáček Brno 2024 festival will take place between 1 and 24 November 2024. Pre-sale of tickets for the festival will be officially launched on 4 November 2023. All information about the festival, including archives of past years, can be found on the website www.janacek-brno.cz
