Celebrate Janáček’s 170th birthday with us on July 3rd on the piazzetta in front of the Janáček Theater.

Come celebrate Leoš Janáček’s birthday with us. Our famous composer is already 170 years old, so the birthday party will be worth it. A fun all-day program awaits you, concerts, an insight into the secrets of the opera Jenůfa with music samples, comfortable deckchairs and cocktails.
There will also be a congratulation with a cake, which you can join with your own wishes, from which we will create a portrait of Janáček on the piazzetta.
The end of the whole celebration is a projection of the production of Jenůfa from the Royal Opera House in London.
