Janáček Brno

The Janáček Brno international festival is the only biennial which presents Leoš Janáček directly in the places where he worked, lived and created for more than 50 years. The festival is based around opera performances by Czech and foreign opera companies, the juxtaposition of differently conceived stagings by major figures and the presentation of world premieres and previously unseen original versions of works by Leoš Janáček. The festival features symphonic and chamber concerts, matinees, colloquia, programmes for children, exhibitions, alternative concerts, and theatre and film performances that are linked with the composer.
