MARTINA JANKOVÁ and KURT AZESBERGER with BRSO in Munich

As part of the Bavarian Radio’s series of operas in concert, Martina Janková continues her successful collaboration with Franz Welser-Möst on Janáček’s Cunning Little Vixen, now coming to Munich with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra after appearances in Cleveland, Vienna and Luxembourg last year. Kurt Azesberger makes his role debut as Schoolmaster / Mosquito, thereby completing a high-carat international cast of singers assembling to perform Janáček’s masterwork, sometimes called the “Czech Midsummer Night’s Dream”, on two consecutive evenings at Munich’s Gasteig.
