The Jan\u00e1\u010dek Brno international festival \u2013 the only biennial which presents Leo\u0161 Jan\u00e1\u010dek directly in the places where he worked, lived and created for more than fifty years.<\/p>\n

The festival is based around opera performances by Czech and foreign opera companies, the juxtaposition of differently conceived stagings by major figures and the presentation of world premieres and previously unseen original versions of works by Leo\u0161 Jan\u00e1\u010dek. The festival features symphonic and chamber concerts, matinees, colloquia, programmes for children, exhibitions, alternative concerts, and theatre and film performances linked with the composer.<\/p>\n
