New show in Brno.

Experience an unforgettable cultural experience in the breathtaking setting of Cabaret des Péchés.

From 18 January 2024. Jalta Passage, Brno.

Musical genius, modern innovator, white-maned lion. The most performed Czech opera composer in the world, who devoted his heart to Brno.

Leoš Janáček––immortal, timeless, provocative. Whom did his love belong to? His wife Zdena, his children, music, Kamila Stössl?

Through music, temperament and humour the echoes of history shall be heard with a modern voice. With the voices of internationally known opera soloists, performers and musicians, including the stars of the National Theatre and Theatre of Bolek Polívka.

All this takes place in the unforgettable milieu of the cabaret of Brno.

Come and have a drink with the maestro himself!

QUOTE:

"As a person and as a composer, Janáček was an element. His music tells powerful and profound stories, and cabaret is a sexy space that allows us to talk about these serious things in a non-serious way."

Hana MikoláškováScript and direction

"Janáček and the language of his music hits the centre of your being. It never leaves you cold and you either love it or hate it."

Tomáš KrejčíMusical arrangement and staging

"Cabaret is a smile. It's a kind of unbearably ironic one. A plushness we can sink into, so that we can embrace even harsh truths with pleasure and enjoyment."
