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.

Janáček The Excursions of Mr Brouček

Barbican Centre

An autocrat in Russia, using every means at his disposal. Politics, manipulation – and fear, loneliness. Boris Godunov is one of the most powerful classics in the history of opera, and is particularly impressive at Olavinlinna. It features the deep sound of low male voices, and its grand choral scenes are masterful.
