Ralph Vaughan Williams The Lark ascending Einojuhani Rautavaara Symphony no. 7 (Angel of Light) Josef Špaček violin Brno Philharmonic conductor Anna-Maria Helsing For the very first time, the final concert of the Easter festival will be without a human voice, and therefore also with lyrics set to music. However, strong emotions are evoked by the very names of the compositions, even more so by themselves and their performance in the temple space. The famous Flight of the Lark by Ralph Vaughan Williams can be understood as the joy of a new spring, a resurrection. The seventh symphony of the Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara belongs to his series of works with an angelic theme and was premiered in 1994.

The girl is dancing. One by one, in sensual movement, her seven veils fall to the ground. She dances to please King Herod, and she only wants one thing in return. The head of the man she loves. If he does not want to return her love, Salome longs at least for the kiss of his dead mouth…

Since leaving the Midwest for California to attend the Brubeck Institute in 2002, double bassist Joe Sanders has been fortunate to perform and learn alongside some of jazz's greatest figures. And the great ride continued: Dave Brubeck, Christian McBride, Terence Blanchard, Ron Carter, Roy Hargrove, John Clayton, Charlie Haden, Herbie Hancock, Charles Lloyd or Wayne Shorter. A stunning gallery under just forty years of age. James Brandon Lewis, the son of a preacher, grew up in Buffalo in a de facto gospel church while listening to jazz titans at home thanks to his parents. This not only created a cultural foundation for him, on which he builds to this day, but it also led him to a musical environment at a young age, when he had the opportunity to meet - already as a beginning saxophonist building on the clarinet foundation, which he had been digging since the age of nine - with local artists, such as is free jazz saxophonist Charles Gayle and saxophonist Grover Washington Jr.

International Dance Day on April 29 is an important day for Ballet NdB, which we celebrate every year in the form of an open air program, a festive performance or another event.

Spyder alternates his musical activities both abroad and on the Czech music scene, and his concert promises an extraordinary musical experience.

Introduce students to theater genres in a different way!

What do opera and ballet have in common and how do they differ? What does the process of creating a production look like from the first idea to the finished performance? What professions work in the theater and what do we actually need them for? What do a choreographer, director, costume designer, or set designer have to think about to make a performance successful? We will find the answer to these and many other questions together at the workshop – How is opera made x How is ballet made?

The workshop also includes a short tour of the Janáček Theater.

"Close your eyes, most of you can see better..." The famous film musical comedy by director Jan Hřebejk and screenwriter Petr Jarchovský from 1993, based on the story of the same name by Petr Šabach, does not present a realistic picture of the Czech 1950s. Rather, she builds, with admitted exaggeration, a monument "to honor the heroes who once drove people mad," as she sings in her final song. It attempts to embody the dream of freedom and independence that every generation needs.

One of the pillars of the classical ballet legacy is the ballet Don Quixote to the music of Ludwig Minkus, inspired by Cervantes' famous novel The Ingenious Don Quixote of La Mancha. It describes the adventures of the hero, the knight Don Quixote, who is torn by imaginations moving between illusion and reality.

However, the ballet productions use Cervantes' story in their libretto only as inspiration and pretext. All the stage action is centered around the young loving couple Basilio (Basil) and Quiteria (Kitri), who are hindered by the rich suitor Comacho (Gamacho). Only thanks to Don Quixote will their love be fulfilled.

Daddy, how is a bride sold? How did you come to know that someone would sell a bride, Hurvínek? Well, I read here: The National Theatre in Brno is performing Bedřich Smetana's opera The Bartered Bride. So how is it, Daddy? Well, you know, it's just like... how should I put it to you... it's a trick to buy a bride for yourself. So now I'm a fool - is it being sold or bought? You know what, Hurvajz, take Žeryk and Mánička and we'll go to the opera, it'll be easier than explaining it to you!

The band's sound combines guitar elements of modern bluesrock with the rhythmic sense of the Brazilian drummer and Kate's energetic, unmistakable voice. The setlist will feature not only their own compositions, but also songs from the current global bluesrock generation.

Director David Radok and his Rusalka as 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. The production will be another contribution to the Year of Czech Music. Since its creation, Dvořák's Rusalka has been one of the most beloved and performed Czech operas, not only thanks to its beautiful and unique music, but also to Jaroslav Kvapil's poetic and timeless libretto, which conceals endless symbolism. The theme is perfect for David Radok, who will create a multilayered production full of strong emotions for the first time in the Czech Republic.

David Radok's set design is based on the concept of Rusalka by set designer Lars-Ake Thessman, presented at the GöteborgsOperan in 2012.

PROGRAM 6

The choreography Serenity will bring the calm power of minimalism to the stage, inviting the audience to silence and deeper perception. The theme of the choreography is based on the contrast of movement and stillness. The dancers will move on the border of dynamic movement until the moment of absolute stop. These moments of stillness evoke living sculptures that create a space for a meditative experience and a pause in a busy world. With this work, the choreographer, Barbora Rašková, tries to offer the audience a unique opportunity to slow down and let themselves be carried away by the depth of the moment.

Omnion is the solo project of composer, multi-instrumentalist and tabla player Tomáš Reindl. Omnion defines its distinctive style "OmniBeat" as a unique combination of live instruments with interactive electronics. In his clearly recognizable author's handwriting, inspiration from the ancient roots of Eastern and Western music is combined with sophisticated approaches to live processing and looping. His overlaps range from electro-acoustic downtempo, to world-beat, to ecstatic dance music with positive deep vibes. In addition to club and festival performances, Omnion has also performed a number of performances in temple premises, with a meditatively tuned program. Omnion creates music not only for listening, but also for dancing, which he perceives as an archetypal human need.

The group, which was formed last fall, combines influences from (mainly) progressive rock, jazz and ambient in atmospheric original compositions. The standard line-up will be complemented by a microtonal keyboard whirlwind. Martin Lapčík - bass guitar / flutes Martin Lysoněk - electric guitar Vojtěch Brhel - drums featuring Ondřej Lapčík - keyboards

The spectacular birthday celebration of tenor Pavel Černoch at the Špilberk Festival was interrupted by a storm. We therefore moved the replacement concert to the Janáček Theater so that the weather would not surprise us again. We believe that all listeners of the festival concert, for which we had contact, have already received tickets to the Janáček Theater on the new date. If you bought the concert as part of the Špilberk festival physically in advance and you do not yet have the new replacement tickets, please contact us at predprodej@filharmonie-brno.cz, we will agree with you on the next procedure. If the new date does not suit you, you can return your tickets until the end of 2024.

Love knows no bounds, guilt falls into oblivion, but my love will not die... The beautiful Manon is no stranger to any weakness - she wanted the love of the young knight Des Grieux and a life of luxury and wealth that only the old banker Géront can provide... But everything has its price and not even love can save everything. “Manon is a heroine I believe in, and that's why you can't help but win the hearts of the audience. Why couldn't there be two operas about Manon? A woman like Manon can have more than one lover. Massenet feels her like a Frenchman, with powder and minuets. I will feel it like an Italian, with a desperate passion," declared Puccini determinedly, when his publisher tried to talk him out of composing an opera on a theme that had already been set to music. And he did well, because Manon Lescaut has been one of his great successes since its premiere in Turin in 1893. He kept what he promised and offered his audience passion, despair and hope that overcomes even the tragic end of the main characters. After all, love never dies.
