Brno, Oct 4 (BD) – Though COVID-19 is still a factor in the daily lives of many — and a worry for anyone planning a public event — the current circumstances in the City of Brno suggest that it is safe for the Brno National Theatre to perform the Janáček Brno 2020 events that were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Opera, ballet and plays are all now being performed regularly. (Click here to see the website for the complete schedule, ticket information and more details.) For more information on the safeguards that are still in place to protect against the transmission of COVID-19, click here.
In any case, there is a bit of extra pride in the fact that the well-planned events of the Janáček Brno 2020 Festival will finally be performed, even if it required a massive amount of rescheduling. And, to look on the bright side, performances this fall may serve as a nice bridge to the next edition of the biennial international festival.
“The concerts will be an invitation to the Janáček Brno 2022 festival that will take place from November 2nd-20th, 2022, with advance ticket sales starting on November 30th, 2021,” said Jiří Heřman, the Artistic Director of the Janáček Opera of the Brno National Theatre.
