About this event
The Janáček Brno production of Katya Kabanova is a revival of Robert Carsen's staging, known for its distinctive use of water on stage. This production presents Janáček's opera with a contemporary visual interpretation while maintaining the dramatic intensity of the original work. The design elements, including set and costumes by Patrick Kinmonth and lighting by Robert Carsen and Peter van Praet, create a unique atmosphere. Philippe Giraudeau’s choreography further enhances the narrative and the physical life of the staging.
