The Witches of Eastwick
The return of the popular magical musical comedy.
At the beginning of October, it will be 20 years since the opening of the Music Scene. The opinions of many naysayers, who claimed in 2004 that the Brno Municipal Theater would own an unused, useless building after a few seasons, seem to be mere smiling memories from today's perspective. Brno's musical scene has already permanently entered (not only) the Czech theater map, and new productions are added to the list of premieres listed here every year, whether they are premieres of original titles or performances of classic musicals. In connection with the celebrations of this anniversary, we decided to return to the musical, which many viewers still remember. Thanks to almost 150 reruns that have taken place since the premiere in 2007, under the name of The Witches of Eastwick, many people remember this production, which brought Petr Štěpán the prestigious Thalia Award for his portrayal of the demonic Darryl Van Horne, rather than the original book or film.
We are from the Czech Republic and you ask if we can sing? An unknown couple arrives in a small Czech village from abroad, and most of the locals watch them with distrust. Only the old teacher Benda, a lover of music, opens his door to them, only to discover that the strangers are closer than they might think.

PÄRT: PASSIONS OF GENOA / VFDH 2025
Arvo Pärt
Passio Domini nostri Jesu Christi secundum Joannem
Martinů Voices artistic director Lukáš Vasilek The Passion according to the Gospel of St. John was traditionally read in the liturgy on Good Friday.

Although in many respects inspired by ancient centuries, they work powerfully and suggestively draw listeners into the story of Christ's suffering even in a chamber ensemble. The Brno premiere of Passions will be provided by the ensemble Martinů Voices and instrumentalists led by Lukáš Vasilek.

Dominic Miller
Guitarist Dominic Miller is a perfect example of a musician who, on the one hand, can easily move in the highest spheres of show business, and on the other hand, he has no problem performing in small clubs for a fraction of the audience he is used to from other stations.

Bad Karma Boy | VDYD
Bad Karma Boy After seven years of waiting, the band Bad Karma Boy has released a new album Noc Na Zemi. In one of the interviews, they once said that the word "path" often appears in their texts. In its own way, it also symbolizes the process of creating the new album, which was created on two continents. Ideas gradually came from rehearsals in Bratislava, at cottages, but also on trips to Portugal and the Croatian islands. All of them eventually materialized into their final form in a magical studio in Costa Rica. VDYD VDYD is an indie post-rock guitar band. Like a boy band of overserving models, they took apart musical instruments and created a concept in which guitar arpeggios and eccentric surface synths roll over a dense rhythmic corpus with a melodic bass. Weaned from the nineties, they sail through the guitar waves of today.

These moments of stillness are evoked by living sculptures that create a space for a meditative experience and a pause in a fast-paced world. With this piece, the choreographer Barbora Rašková tries to offer the audience a unique opportunity to slow down and be carried away by the depth of the moment.
