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
