Two Versions of Janáček’s Šárka at the Janáček Brno 2026 Festival
Leoš Janáček’s first operatic work, the drama Šárka, exists in two distinct versions: the original chamber version from 1887–1888, which the composer completed only as a piano vocal score, and the revised orchestral version from 1925. The upcoming edition of the Janáček Brno Festival offers audiences a unique opportunity to experience both versions—ranging from an intimate, immersive encounter to a grand concert performance.
