A concert by the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra, whose name is linked to the historical event of the same name, with a program created by Leoš Janáček during his time at the Besední dům. Alongside the orchestra, the authentic ensemble Horňácká muzika Petra Mičky will also perform. This unique musical experience is part of the festival celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the Besední dům in Brno.
This concert, recorded to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the landmark musical Les Miserables, gathers the casts of the show's 2010 original production at the Queen's Theatre, the 1985 original production by the London company, and the 2010 production at the Barbican together for one performance. Together with talents like Michael Ball, Hadley Fraser, and John Owen-Jones, the performers present the play's musical numbers in a semi-theatrical style, fully costumed and with all the emotion of the musical's heyday.
