A psychological drama between duty and freedom

Katja Kaba­nova

German Oper am Rhein

Once upon a time… Love Story. Love… a passionate and oh-so-human impulse. The common thread of our destinies. The one for which we live and die, the true driving force of all existence. For centuries, no subject has so inflamed minds as love. The Ensemble Émeraude, formed within the OPRL, explores its various aspects through works by German, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, and Russian composers. The concert is passionately presented by Stéphane Dado, art and music historian and OPRL Project Manager.

Philharmonic Hall of Liege

At the heart of Věc Makropulos is a recipe for a life-prolonging elixir invented by the doctor Hieronymus Makropulos for Emperor Rudolf II. It was tested on the doctor's beautiful daughter, who has now been on earth for 337 years and has had countless affairs over the generations. In the end, however, the seemingly young woman has to realize that an endless life on this side of the world only brings loneliness...

American conductor Dennis Russell Davies is the point of connection in this vibrant concert, which crosses continents and musical genres. The Principal Conductor of the Brno Philharmonic also has deep roots in jazz, having worked with luminaries such as Keith Jarrett and Dave Brubeck. The latter’s 1963 concerto for jazz quartet and orchestra, Brandenburg Gate Revisited, receives its first live UK performance with leading British pianist Freddy Kempf and a Czech jazz trio spinning sepia melodies around a subtly noir orchestral accompaniment. Freddy also takes the lead in Gershwin’s Variations on I Got Rhythm, a sprightly showpiece exploring similar terrain to his famous Rhapsody in Blue.

In a provincial town, Katya’s dull, loveless life is made worse by her tyrannical mother-in-law, Kabanicha. She longs for freedom and, when her husband leaves on business, she is swept into a brief but passionate romance with an outsider, Boris, who has loved Katya from afar. When her husband returns, she finds herself tormented by her guilty conscience and the pressures of society.

Leoš Janáček, a Moravian born in the small town of Hukvaldy, amidst vast forests and mountains, is known for his unique musical language. His String Suite from 1877 is his first orchestral work and combines Slavic Romanticism with Baroque influences. Therefore, the music perfectly complements the preludes by Dmitri Shostakovich, which are also performed and pay tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach.

A moment of carelessness leads a young vixen to be captured. She grows up on a forester's farm, surrounded by pestering children, a misunderstood dachshund, and a flock of chickens whose eagerness to serve only further encourages the vixen to give in to her hunting instinct. After escaping to freedom, she encounters a fox, with whom she starts a family—not without some forest dwellers commenting indignantly on the young couple's courtship. But in the forest, not only fox and badger, but sometimes also forester and schoolmaster say "good night" to each other when they meet on their way back from the pub. And when the paths of humans and animals cross, the animals often come out on the short end...

Many musical masterpieces have been used in cinema for their powerful evocative power, such as Barber's famous Adagio, heard in over twenty films. Another American composer, Bernard Herrmann, has often been associated with the great director Alfred Hitchcock, for whom he composed numerous original scores, including that of the film Psycho, which left its mark on the imagination through its unforgettable use of string instruments.

The tale of a quick-witted fox and her escape from confinement for a life in the forest is by turns joyful, witty, romantic and tragic. The Cunning Little Vixen follows the cycle of death and rebirth through the instinctive and immediate world of nature—animal and human, which Janáček loved so dearly. In this celebrated score, singers and orchestra embody the sounds of the forest, the feel of sunshine on your face and the thrill of a starlit sky.

Witness the Carnegie Hall debut of violinist Blake Pouliot, whom the Toronto Star calls “one of those special talents that comes along once in a lifetime.” It’s an electrifying program from the very first measure, with Bao Zhi Yang’s Ambush on All Sides providing a dramatic opening statement that leads into Janáček’s sole surviving Violin Sonata, a work of aching passion and sincerity. Pouliot treats listeners to an additional masterpiece: Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata No. 1, which demands extraordinary dynamic command as it moves between its most ethereal and forceful passages. Rounding out the concert is the premiere of an innovative, Carnegie Hall co-commissioned work by Derek Skye and Pirayeh Pourafar.

Join us for a remarkable evening with the London Symphony Orchestra as we present "Janáček The Excursions of Mr Brouček" under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle. This concert performance, enriched with surtitles for an immersive experience, is set to take place at the iconic Barbican on Sunday, 4th May 2025, at 7pm.

Leoš Janáček's "The Excursions of Mr Brouček" is a witty, satirical opera that takes you on an off-beat journey through art, lunar travel, nationalism, and the peculiar world of sausages. The opera spans approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes, including a 20-minute interval, and promises an evening filled with laughter and exceptional music. The story follows the beer-guzzling, sausage-loving Mr. Brouček as he embarks on fantastical travels to the moon and back to the 15th century, only to find himself hilariously out of place.

The performance will showcase the talents of Peter Hoare as Brouček, alongside a stellar cast including Aleš Briscein, Lucy Crowe, Gyula Orendt, and many more, accompanied by the Tenebrae choir. The concert is a testament to Janáček's colorful score and vividly-drawn characters, brought to life by the London Symphony Orchestra's world-class musicians.

Tickets are available in a range of prices to suit all budgets, with a booking fee applicable per online or phone transaction. Additionally, the event offers various discounts, including Wildcards for guaranteed entry with seat allocation on the day, Multibuy Discounts, and special rates for groups, students, and young people.

Don't miss this uproarious journey with Mr. Brouček, a concert performance that promises not only to entertain but to enchant with the gossamer web of dreams, the mystery of lunar landscapes, and the gloominess of long-past ages. Book your tickets now for an unforgettable night at the Barbican with the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Simon Rattle.

“The fragrance of the trees was like incense,” declared Leoš Janáček, “I felt a cathedral grow from a great forest”.

Four Eastern European composers complement each other with works that are very different in both instrumentation and expression – from Prokofiev's quintet for oboe, clarinet, violin, viola and double bass to Janáček's 1st string quartet, nicknamed Kreuzer after Tolstoy's novel, with reference to Beethoven's violin sonata. Where Janácek's programmatic work has a romantic expression, Prokofiev's is more modern; almost circus-like. Originally the latter was composed for a dance performance, but the music is said to have been too complicated for the dancers; fortunately the work has survived. Both of these works were composed in the early twenties – 1923 and 24 respectively.
