<h2>ABOUT</h2>
If someone doesn&rsquo;t like opera, take them to see Jan&aacute;ček, said conductor Simon Rattle and he is right. Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s operas are each unique in their own right, running at the speed of thought and theatrical in the best sense of the word. For example,&nbsp;The Makropulos Affair&nbsp;with its almost detective plot is certainly not a typical operatic subject, but in Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s rendition, a century-old court dispute over an inheritance quickly turns into a gripping drama about the search for the meaning of human life. It is even more of an experience when you add director Claus Guth&rsquo;s production view, where realistic images of the law office and the theatre backstage alternate with surreal moments of the main character&rsquo;s isolation. The German director Claus Guth is one of the world&rsquo;s leading filmmakers and is best known for his productions of works by Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner and H&auml;ndel. His first encounter with Czech opera was a production of Bohuslav Martinů&rsquo;s&nbsp;Juliette&nbsp;in 2016, but it was not until six years later that his first Jan&aacute;ček came, an excellent production of&nbsp;Her Stepdaughter (Jenůfa)&nbsp;for Covent Garden.&nbsp;The Makropulos Affair&nbsp;was written for the Berlin Staatsoper and this is the first time this great opera company will be performing at the festival.&nbsp;
The Makropulos Affair is in many ways a work unparalleled in the world of opera. It is not surprising that Karel Čapek, the author of the literary original, was initially somewhat sceptical about Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s intention to adapt his play into an opera. Set in a legal environment, full of dialogue and with a convoluted storyline, where characters make phone calls and where tracing family connections is almost a task for a genealogy expert, the plot was not entirely typical of opera even in the early 20th century. But Jan&aacute;ček, who had already dealt with life and its endless cycle in&nbsp;The Cunning Little Vixen&nbsp;was very interested in what&nbsp;The Makropulos Affair&nbsp;hides under its legal-detective plot &ndash; the question whether immortality can bring happiness to people or whether human life is fulfilled by the inevitability of the end. Jan&aacute;ček himself later recalled:&nbsp;It gripped me. You know, the horrible, the emotional of a human that will never end. Pure misery. Wanting nothing, expecting nothing. There must be something to it. The third act, that&rsquo;s what I take pride in: the rush, the cliff! That&rsquo;s what I felt, that&rsquo;s what I wanted.&nbsp;Čapek eventually agreed to the musicalization, and Jan&aacute;ček set about revising and shortening the text of the play. He devoted the next two years to the composition, and Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s correspondence traces his interest in and sympathy for the opera&rsquo;s main character:&nbsp;A beauty 300 years old &ndash; and eternally young &ndash; but only a burnt-out emotion! Brr! Cold as ice! But I&rsquo;ll make her warmer so people will have compassion for her. I might even fall in love with her.&nbsp;The premiere in 1928 in the Brno theatre before Christmas aroused unprecedented interest and the theatre was completely sold out! The success was huge. Jan&aacute;ček recalled:&nbsp;The cold one was an unprecedented success! A chill went down everyone&rsquo;s spine. It&rsquo;s supposedly my greatest work!&nbsp;

<h2>ABOUT</h2>
One of Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s most famous operas, Jenůfa (or also Her Stepdaughter), tells the story of two women who try to find a way to resolve a difficult situation in a ruthless environment: Jenůfa got pregnant with the irresponsible &Scaron;teva, who does not want to marry her. Her stepmother, Kostelnička, in an environment where single mothers find it hard to survive and which does not favour women, decides to do something that will change Jenůfa&rsquo;s fate once and for all. Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s dark opera drama, whose libretto was written by the composer himself based on a play by Gabriela Preissov&aacute;, was already a source of controversy at the time of its performance. How is it today? How do we treat women in similar situations? Do they get support or do we just look sympathetic but secretly think it&rsquo;s their own fault? Do we all still believe that the happiest time is supposed to come after childbirth? The production by Veronika Kos Loulov&aacute; and the all-female production team brings an engaging narrative from the perspective of women who have something to say to the story.

<h2>ABOUT</h2>
The journeys following folk song and dance were inspiring for Leo&scaron; Jan&aacute;ček. We all know his most famous Wallachian/Lachian Dances, but the attention of the Master was not lost on other interesting or signficant dances of other regions of Moravia &ndash; dances of Han&aacute; (Kalamajka, Trojky, Silnice, Troj&aacute;k) or Moravia (Kožich, Kalamajka, Trojka, Silnice, Rožek), Srbsk&eacute; kolo, Kr&aacute;lovničky, etc. The confrontation of Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s musical setting and naturalistic regional musicianship and dance will be the main pillar of the programme Jan&aacute;ček Ubiquitous.

JANÁČEK UBIQUITOUS (Janáček Brno 2024)

<h2>ABOUT</h2>
The concert is intended for younger children audiences as well as adult listeners. The composer, organist and pianist Petr Eben (1929&ndash;2007) is known primarily as a composer of sacred music, but he also dedicated an equally important part of his work to children. Probably the best known among these works is the song cycle Elce pelce kotrmelce on lyrics by V&aacute;clav Fi&scaron;er. The cycle was created in the difficult years 1969&ndash;70 and later the songs were supplemented by a fairytale by the composer&rsquo;s son Marek Eben.

BRNO CHILDREN’S CHOIR  (Janáček Brno 2024)

<h2>ABOUT</h2>
The afternoon concert in the beautiful setting of Villa Tugendhat will bring compositions by Czech composers and Igor Stravinsky performed by excellent chamber players.&nbsp;
Two small compositions Ballade and Serenade by Josef Suk (1870&ndash;1935) date from the composer&rsquo;s youth. The first is from 1890, i.e. from his studies at the conservatory, but before he studied at the Dvoř&aacute;k&rsquo;s Conservatory Master School. It is a charming salon-type composition. The Serenade is eight years younger and was written in the vicinity of Suk&rsquo;s incidental music to Zeyer&rsquo;s Rad&uacute;z and Mahulena and Symphony in E major. Suk wrote Serenade for the music department of the Young Club in Prague.
The inspiration for Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s Fairytale for Cello and Piano was Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky&rsquo;s fairytale &ldquo;Skazka o care Berendej, o syne jego Ivana tsarevich, o chitrostjach Koschei bezsmertnogo i o premudrosti Marja tsarevny, Koschei docheri&rdquo;. This was neither the first nor the last time Jan&aacute;ček used a Russian theme. Jan&aacute;ček finished the first version of this story about the Tsar&rsquo;s ill-considered promise, which caused him to lose his only child, on 10 February 1910. The autograph contains three movements. The Fairytale was performed on 13 March 1910 as part of the sixth sonata lesson at the Brno Organ School. Subsequently Jan&aacute;ček arranged the composition into four parts and had it performed on 12 March 1912. The third version was published in 1923. The nature of the composition suggests that Jan&aacute;ček composed it during years of certain despair and loneliness.&nbsp;
Shortly before his departure for the United States, Anton&iacute;n Dvoř&aacute;k (1841&ndash;1904) undertook a farewell concert tour in 1892. For this occasion, he arranged for cello and piano the fifth movement from his earlier four-hand piano cycle From the Bohemian Forest. The small piece has a serious, reflective nature. Rondo was also created for the aforementioned tour, but as a separate, original composition.
In 1920 Igor Stravinsky (1882&ndash;1971) composed for the Russian Ballet the delightful suite Pulcinella, a ballet that harks back to the Italian Baroque. The ensemble&rsquo;s impresario, Sergei Diaghilev, found melodies from the work of Baroque composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, which he presented to Stravinsky. In his inimitable way, he worked them into a ballet series. Such an approach to composition, borrowing themes from another composer, aroused indignation, as did Stravinsky&rsquo;s whole emerging neoclassical mode of composition. However, the effect of this piece was unquestionable and the composer then used some of the numbers in other arrangements for violin or cello and piano. Today these compositions are among the gems of the then emerging avant-garde.

<h2>ABOUT</h2>
Anton&iacute;n Dvoř&aacute;k was one of Leo&scaron; Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s mentors and friends, and his music and advice had a great influence on the younger composer. Dvoř&aacute;k&rsquo;s&nbsp;Rusalka&nbsp;was written at the time when Jan&aacute;ček was working on the first version of his famous opera&nbsp;Jenůfa&nbsp;and the festival will offer a unique opportunity to hear and see these two operas side by side in both cases in extraordinary projects; the director of&nbsp;Rusalka&nbsp;will be one of the best Czech directors David Radok, who has been cooperating with the Jan&aacute;ček Opera of the National Theatre Brno for a long time, in an already proven tandem with Marko Ivanović as the author of the musical staging.&nbsp;
Human soul, pure human soul! The water nymph Rusalka longs for life above the water, for love and a human soul. The witch knows the way, but the price is high &ndash; Rusalka loses her ability to speak, but what good is speech when for her beloved prince she is just a wave on the water&hellip; The world of men, however, turns out to be cruel and full of betrayal, over which even her pure love cannot prevail.&nbsp;Rusalka&nbsp;offers the stagers countless possibilities of interpretation, and David Radok has taken the path of a fateful drama about unfulfilled desires and human failure, about the contradictory conflict between love and erotic desire, a drama about the sinful human soul and about mistakes that can no longer be corrected.
Since its creation in 1900, Dvoř&aacute;k&rsquo;s&nbsp;Rusalka&nbsp;has been one of the most beloved and most performed Czech operas both at home and abroad, not only thanks to its beautiful music, but also because of the poetic and timeless libretto by Jaroslav Kvapil. The poet found his inspiration in Norse myths and legends about mysterious realms hidden beneath the waves of the sea, as well as in the famous fairy tale by H. Ch. Andersen&nbsp;The Little Mermaid. Kvapil&rsquo;s unique text contains countless symbols and Anton&iacute;n Dvoř&aacute;k was inspired by it to create music full of colour and beautiful melodies that extend beyond opera, into the world of symphonic music. The production&nbsp;Rusalka, which was created as part of the Year of Czech Music, will be the second contribution of the Brno ensemble to the festival programme.

A. DVOŘÁK: RUSALKA (Janáček Brno 2024)

<h2>ABOUT</h2>
When the young Bedřich Smetana (1824&ndash;1884) was staying in Gothenburg, Sweden, he devoted his compositional efforts not only to symphonic poems, but especially to piano. The longing for his homeland was most evident in his piano works, especially in the polkas. But during this period, Smetana was also attracted again by Chopin, who certainly influenced him with his treatment of mazurkas. One such example is the Memories of Bohemia in Polka Form. The composer worked on the first two in A minor and E minor in December 1859 and they were first performed two years later in Prague.
The first series of the piano cycle of poetic pieces On the Overgrown Path by Leo&scaron; Jan&aacute;ček (1854&ndash;1928) was composed successively in 1900, 1908 and 1911. Jan&aacute;ček wrote the five pieces of the cycle in 1900, when he was 46 years old. They were published as small pieces for harmonium in the Slavonic Melodies booklets, published by the Ivančice teacher Emil Kol&aacute;ř. The expansion of the cycle was influenced by the editor Jan Branberger, who in 1908 contracted the publisher Bedřich Koč&iacute; in Prague to publish the compositions. This publisher&rsquo;s interest in publishing the existing works led Jan&aacute;ček to compose further movements, so that the cycle grew to ten numbers, to which the composer attached poetic titles. The cycle was printed in 1911 by the publishing house of A. P&iacute;&scaron;a. These small, intimate pieces reflecting some of the composer&rsquo;s memories are now among his best known and most performed works.
Memories,&nbsp;a cycle of three piano pieces, was written by V&iacute;tězslav Nov&aacute;k (1870&ndash;1949) in a tense emotional state. The compositions originated in 1894, when the young composer was in love with Josefina Javůrkov&aacute;, and under the impression of intimate experiences, a work filled with emotion, desire and eroticism was created. It is one of the composer&rsquo;s most impressive piano compositions.
Lubo&scaron; Fi&scaron;er (1935&ndash;1999) is one of our most played composers of the 20th century. His extensive work includes compositions of various character in the orchestral field, as well as vocal and chamber works. He is also an outstanding composer of numerous film and television scores. The most significant is his work for piano, with eight sonatas at its centre. The eighth and last one was created in 1996 after an eleven-year pause. Although it is the shortest (lasting just six minutes), it perfectly represents the composer&rsquo;s style. It is a very concentrated, serious, somewhat pessimistic, but above all beautiful work.
Klement Slavick&yacute; (1910&ndash;1999) is undoubtedly one of the most respected Czech artists of the 20th century. His&nbsp;Three Pieces for Piano&nbsp;were written in 1946-47, a very happy time for the composer. The short post-war period allowed Slavick&yacute; to create freely, and his compositions began to be performed more frequently. All this ended in February 1948. The three piano pieces &ndash;&nbsp;Burlesca,&nbsp;Intermezzo,&nbsp;Toccata&nbsp;&ndash; are fresh, full of lightness, virtuosity and joy. The influence of Moravian folk music is not evident here, as we would expect from Slavick&yacute;, rather it is an echo of the avant-garde of the past years, especially the works of Sergei Prokofiev.

<h2>ABOUT</h2>
V&iacute;tězslava Kapr&aacute;lov&aacute; (1915&ndash;1940) was one of the true talents of interwar Czechoslovakia, not only as a composer but also as a conductor. Unfortunately, her untimely death prevented her from developing her compositional skills to the full. She studied at the Master School with V&iacute;tězslav Nov&aacute;k and then privately with Bohuslav Martinů. She wrote her only String Quartet between 1936 and 1937. She began her work before entering the Master School of the Prague Conservatory. She then completed the three-movement composition during her first year of study with V&iacute;tězslav Nov&aacute;k. Although it is the work of a twenty-one-year-old author, it is a very inventive and mature composition.&nbsp;
Leo&scaron; Jan&aacute;ček (1854&ndash;1928) wrote the Quartet for Two Violins, Viola and Cello &ldquo;Intimate Letters&rdquo; in the last year of his life. In the four-movement composition he encoded the experiences he had with his beloved Kamila St&ouml;sslov&aacute;. The quartet still fascinates with its emotionality and creative truthfulness.
An important source of inspiration for V&iacute;tězslav Nov&aacute;k (1870&ndash;1949) was the beauty of folk song. This close relationship to folklore is most evident in works from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It was during this period, in 1905, that the String Quartet No. 2 originated. The material abstracted from folk music is evident, which Nov&aacute;k transformed into a distinctive musical whole that still captivates today not only by its formal perfection.

JANÁČEK QUARTET  (Janáček Brno 2024)

<h2>ABOUT</h2>
The motto of the 9th edition of the festival Without Borders! was inspired by Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s fifth opera&nbsp;The Excursions of Mr. Brouček, in which the main character takes us to the Moon and for a journey through time to the 15th century. The same motto could be used to describe the work of director Robert Carsen, creator of productions appreciated worldwide for their dramatic grasp, poetics, humour and artistic sophistication. The famous director&rsquo;s path intersected with the work of the Czech composer many years ago and today Carsen has staged six of Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s operas. In 2020, he created a production of&nbsp;Destiny&nbsp;for the Brno ensemble and now he returns to the stage of the Jan&aacute;ček Theatre to open the festival with his new production of&nbsp;The Excursions of Mr. Brouček.&nbsp;
None of Jan&aacute;ček&rsquo;s operas can be called comic, although humour is never absent in them, but rather as rare spice. But in this opera about the landlord from Mal&aacute; Strana, a typically Czech little man, Jan&aacute;ček sparkles with humour, even if it is quite sharp-edged. Jan&aacute;ček found his inspiration in the popular novellas by the poet Svatopluk Čech and complemented his satire to perfection with music in a dance rhythm and the use of unusual instruments such as the glass harmonica or bagpipes. While the first part of the opera, the trip to the Moon, aimed its blistering humour at Prague critics, intellectuals and artists, the second half, set in the Hussite period, took aim at the unpleasant qualities of the Czech nation in general.&nbsp;
The opera was not easy to create, Jan&aacute;ček changed several librettists and it took him nine years to reach a successful conclusion of The Excursion of Mr Brouček to the Moon after all the trouble with the libretto. At the end, he sighed at his poets: &ldquo;Oh, but our poets! One is to tell them everything &ndash; and the result is still poor!&rdquo; Nevertheless, after finishing the opera, he decided to expand it with one more part, an excursion to the 15th century. This time, he and the librettist F. S. Proch&aacute;zka managed to produce it quickly, but from then on Jan&aacute;ček wrote his own librettos. And why did he choose Čech&rsquo;s Mr. Brouček? He described it beautifully in his letter to Kamila St&ouml;sslov&aacute;:&nbsp;
&ldquo;So do you know who Brouček is? He&rsquo;s just an ordinary man; he swears at the world and spends his life with a jug of beer in his hand. There is no use for him in the world. And you ask: &ldquo;Why would you choose such a man for the opera then?&rdquo; So that he may be an abomination to all, for mockery and a warning! The Russians also had such a &ldquo;soft&rdquo; man; his name was Oblomov. In fact, every other Russian was an Oblomov &ndash; and how they ended! A terrible revolution, now rivers of blood are cleaning it. That&rsquo;s why I&rsquo;m putting Brouček on display &ndash; as a warning. There are also more than enough of Broučeks here everywhere! All they think about are their stomachs. So my dear little Brouček gets drunk again, falls asleep somewhere in Hradčany and dreams: He flies to the Moon! He falls down there. Oh, the horror! The people there are satiated only by the scent of flowers. They only let Brouček sniff the flowers. And now there&rsquo;s a Moonwoman falling in love with him! No blood, body like a stick!&rdquo;&nbsp;

<h2>ABOUT</h2>
Concert with video projection
&ldquo;I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat&rdquo;.&nbsp;85 years ago these words echoed throughout Britain, where they were written into history. They were uttered by prime minister Winston Churchill, in an attempt to rouse the British public during the looming invasion of Germany. The German army had already destroyed much of Europe at the time.
All it took was a few signatures and the fate of Czechoslovakia had been decided. In 1938 fascist leader Adolf Hitler signed an agreement with the leaders of Great Britain, France and Italy that Germany would be peacefully granted the Sudetenland. Due to this political agreement, made without the knowledge of Czechoslovak leadership, Czechoslovak soldiers, who had been trained and ready to defend their lands, were forced to surrender their arms. However, the conflict did not end with the Sudetenland and the first German divisions crossed the Czechoslovak border on the 1st of October 1938. Half a year later Hitler controlled the entire country and used his newfound strength to attack Poland on the 1st of September 1939. This act marked the beginning of the second world war. The conflict saw the loss of more than 62 million lives and to this day remains the largest and most devastating war in the history of mankind.&nbsp;
The war remains a prominent theme for writers and filmmakers, leading to the creation of a number of incredible films. Screenwriters, directors and composers use their work to pay homage to the heroes of this war and ensure that their deeds will never be forgotten.
At tonight&rsquo;s concert we would like to commemorate the horrors of the second world war. This includes a sequence of crushing events, as well as heroes and other figures who fought one of the hardest battles in history. The names of these events are The Munich Betrayal, the Warsaw Ghetto, where over 450,000 Jews suffered, the Battle of Britain which saw the participation of Czechoslovak pilots, the two-year siege of the Soviet city of Leningrad by Army Group North of Nazi Germany, the Battle of the Bulge, the encirclement of the North African port of Tobruk by German and Italian troops, and the landing of Allied troops in Normandy... we will try to commemorate these and other depressing events with sensitivity and humility, using music, words and projections.
Music from the movies&nbsp;A Prominent Patient,&nbsp;Leningrad Symphony,&nbsp;Ace of Aces,&nbsp;Darkest Hour,&nbsp;Pearl Harborand&nbsp;The Dam Busters&nbsp;be performed at the commencement of the 2025 Prague Proms International Music Festival. These pieces will be performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, directed by conductor Steven Mercurio. The concert will serve to remind us of the tragedies of this war, in an effort to celebrate life, because it is thanks to these heroes that we are all still here.
