Festival Hall
One of the most famous operatic dramas of the 20th century premiered 120 years ago. Libretto by Leoš Janáček after a novel by Gabriela Preissová
Presented in the Czech original with English and German subtitles
“Janáček, like Bedřich Smetana or Antonín Dvořák, was able to strike a folk tone and create in the folk spirit in such a way that some of the songs and choruses he used were mistaken for folk.”
Bohumír Štědroň
The multifunctional hall was nominated for the European Union's Mies van der Rohe Award for Contemporary Architecture in 2007.
