Karol Szymanowski / King Roger/ National Theater Brno (CZ)

Two visions of the world, one boundary between them – one embodies reason and light, the other is elemental, dark, and irrational.
One night, a charismatic shepherd arrives at the Christian court of King Roger, disrupting the established order of Christian values and worldview.
Does his teaching bring joy and goodness, or only destruction and chaos?

Premiere: June 13, 2025, at the Janáček Theatre
