Premiéra Výlety páně Broučkovy — Slavnostní zahájení festivalu MFJB

Motto of the 9th year of the festival Without Borders! it was Janáček's fifth opera, The Voyages of Mr. Broučkova, where the protagonist and I go to the moon and on a journey through time to the 15th century. The same motto could be used to describe the work of director Robert Carsen, the creator of productions valued all over the world for their dramatic grasp, poetics, humor and artistic sophistication. The path of the famous director crossed paths with the work of the Czech composer many years ago, and today Carsen has staged six Janáček operas to his credit. In 2020, he created a production of Fate for the Brno ensemble, and now he is returning to the stage of the Janáček Theater to officially open the festival with his new production of Mr. Brouchkovy's Trips.
