Leoš Janáček’s satirical opera The Excursions of Mr Brouček stands out as one of the composer’s most imaginative works. The story follows the misadventures of Mr Brouček, a beer-guzzling landlord who embarks on two fantastical journeys—first to the Moon and later to 15th-century Prague during the Hussite rebellion. Janáček’s distinctive musical language, characterised by concise motifs and Czech folk melodies, weaves together with the plot to create an opera of remarkable originality.

“The Excursions of Mr Brouček is probably his most eccentric opera, and for Janáček that’s really saying something. It’s beautiful, off-the-charts surreal, and nobody can really imagine what he was thinking when he wrote it.” – Sir Simon Rattle

Conductor Emeritus Sir Simon Rattle conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in a thrilling performance of this one-of- a-kind opera. With an all-star cast led by Peter Hoare as the titular anti-hero, this new addition to Rattle’s acclaimed series of Janáček’s operas offers a delightful take on this seldom- heard masterpiece.
