The upcoming opera season will start with the 7th Janáček Brno Festival. At that festival, the NdB Janáček Opera Ensemble will present the premiere of Janáček's opera Osud [Destiny] directed by Robert Carsten, which will open the festival. The second title will be Její pastorkyňa [Jenufa] under the direction of Claus Guth. His production team from London will also come with the acclaimed performer of Janáček's roles, Karita Mattila, who will render the role of Kostelnička. The opera ensemble is heading for a total of five premieres in the new season. The NdB Ballet will present Beethoven as the first premiere title of the season. The production with music by Ludwig van Beethoven, with choreography and direction of Mário Radačovský, will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of the composer. Jaroslav Milfajt and Ľudmila Várossová will take care of the stage and costume designs. The next title will be Stabat Mater with choreography by Pavel Šmok.
