Love knows no bounds, my guilt will be forgotten, but my love will not die... The beautiful Manon is no stranger to any human weakness - she would like the love of the young knight Des Grieux and a life of luxury and wealth that only the old banker Géront can provide her...

The Orchestral Academy of the Brno Philharmonic (OAFB) is a project that enables young talented musicians – students or recent graduates of music schools accepted on the basis of a selection process – to gain orchestral practice in a professional ensemble. In this way, the Philharmonic trains new generations of players who may one day join its ranks. The OAFB has been operating for six seasons and its fruits are already evident: some of its graduates are already members of our orchestra, others regularly return to help out. The importance and value of this experience for the artistic growth of young musicians and for the future of the orchestra is thus indisputable. In recent seasons, the Mladá krev cycle has gained a large audience, which appreciates the youthfully captivating performances of the performers, the attractive, diverse repertoire and, last but not least, the captivating atmosphere of these concerts, during which the Besední dom hall is intimately lit, atypically set up and the musicians are almost within reach , as the subtitle of the Close Up Music series suggests. During concerts, the barrier of the stage and the evening gown disappear. However, it has already become a tradition that former OAFB members or other guests also perform at Mladá krve concerts.

The mission is clear - marry the widow! But so that her millions remain in the principality. There would be plenty of suitors, but Count Danilo, entrusted with the task, already has a love history with the widow Hana Glawari. So the affection is mutual, but the reluctance to admit that the old love has not rusted, either. When you add the other ingredients in the form of a party at the embassy in Paris, dancers from the famous U Maxima cabaret and witty dialogues, you have everything you need for a great operetta.

Cheerful is the life of an artist in a mansard in the Latin Quarter. It doesn't matter that it's not for rent, it's snowing outside, and instead of coal, a novel is burning in the stove. Rudolf, Marcello and Collin always manage somehow. But what confuses them is love. Marcello worries about the fickle and capricious Musetta, Rudof and the seamstress Mimi seem to be made for each other, but even here the idyll does not last long. Puccini's La bohème, inspired by the French writer Henri Murger's novel La Vie de bohème and the life of Parisian students and artists in the mid-19th century, became one of the most popular operas, quite rightly. Even though the composer was initially reluctant to set the subject to music, he created a work full of joy and sadness, and the whirlwind of hidden emotions in the music will not leave any of the listeners cold. Thanks to his experience from his studies at the conservatory, when he himself experienced similar situations to his opera companions, Puccini painted an impressive and believable picture of a famous Parisian district populated by diverse characters.
