SALOME, Richard Strauss

It is not the first time that the ensemble of the Hungarian State Opera has come to the Janáček Brno festival. This time, it isn´t with a Janáček production, but with an opera whose time of creation intersects with the time when Janáček was working on his innovatively-styled new opera, Destiny. Just like Janáček with Jenůfa and subsequently Destiny, Richard Strauss also went in a new direction with Salome – that of 20th century opera.

DESTINY (OSUD), Janáček

The opening ceremony of the festival will be marked by the return of one of the world’s best opera directors, Robert Carsen. This creator of productions praised for their dramatic grasp, poesy and artistic refinement has returned to Janáček´s opera works once again after his previous productions of Jenůfa, The Cunning Little Vixen, Katya Kabanova, The Makropulos Affair and From the House of the Dead. Destiny, created especially for the Janáček Opera, National Theatre Brno, is thus Mr Carsen’s sixth interpretation of a work by the Czech master.
