For the fourteenth year now, the space under the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul comes alive with productions from the Brno Municipal Theatre (MdB). This year, the MdB will start its summer performances at the beginning of June and will stage a total of 29 performances of seven different titles in the Bishop’s Court. The traditional summer stage will open with the world premiere of the original production Crocodile from Svratka or Mozart in Brno by Stanislav Slovák, Jan Šotkovský, and Petr Štěpán.
The summer production of the Brno City Theatre’s productions at the Bishop’s Court in the inner grounds of the Moravian Museum will run from 3 June to 11 July 2023, starting at 8:30 pm (outdoors and in all weather conditions). The MdB performances will kick off the 14th Summer at the Bishop’s Court – a series of programmes by Brno institutions and others.
The MdB’s series of performances will open with the world premiere of the original production Crocodile from Svratka or Mozart in Brno by the creators Slovák / Šotkovský / Štěpán, which will present a cross-section of the work of the greatest genius of European music: opera arias and concert music will be performed, Mozart’s melodies will be heard “as you know them”, but also in original and distinctive rock and jazz arrangements. All this with the powerful, symphonic sounding MdB orchestra. The main axis of the plot will be a thrilling detective story concerning Mozart’s visit to Brno in 1767, which will also explain where the crocodile, also known as the “Brno dragon”, really came from.
