Staatsoper Unter den Linden

Die Ausflüge Des Herrn Brouček

Opera

Unter den Linden 7, 10117 Berlin

Leoš Janáček

Description

At his local Prague bar, the landlord Brouček has a reputation for being a petty philistine. He himself is tired of dealing with insolvent renters and dreams of getting away from all the daily hassle. When one night he has had one beer too many, his wish comes true in a miraculous way with two fantastic excursions: first, Brouček lands on the moon inhabited by a strange, overly intellectual society of artists. Then he finds himself in medieval Prague, stuck between the fronts of a battle between the confessions, and is about to go to war on the side of the Hussites.

In his satirical opera The Excursions of Mr. Brouček, Leoš Janáček was able to continue developing his advanced musical language and to enrich it with complex comedy. Conducted by Simon Rattle, this new production of this rarely performed work by Canadian director Robert Carsen will bring the eventful history of the city of Prague back to life.
