After last year’s great success of Lukáš Hurník’s opera, we return once again with a brand-new, unique title—this time inspired by Aesop’s fables, under the name Ezopotamia, by the renowned composer Lukáš Sommer. A beloved theme of Aesop’s fables is presented here as a mischievous, “eternal” battle between humans and the animal world. This two-act opera is intended for children aged 7–15, as well as for “grown-up children” aged 35 and above. Bring your kids to discover how the world of classical music can look, and take away an unforgettable experience.
This chamber opera for multiple generations is brought to life by a team of students from the Faculty of Music at JAMU in Brno.
