Come celebrate Leoš Janáček's birthday with us. Our famous composer is already 170 years old, so the birthday party will be worth it. An entertaining all-day program awaits you, concerts, insight into the secrets of the opera Jeji pastorkyňa with demonstrations, comfortable sunbeds and cocktails. There will also be a congratulation with a cake, which you can join with your own wishes, from which we will create a portrait of Janáčk on the piazzetta. The end of the whole celebration is a projection of the production of Her Shepherd from the Royal Opera House in London.
