The mix of several cultures gave the city its diversity and attractiveness and still contributes to the city today. Brno has many professional theatres, a philharmonic orchestra, concert halls of all sizes, and dozens of galleries and museums. It hosts music festivals with long traditions, such as Moravian Autumn and JazzFestBrno, and has clear connec- tions with the famous composer Leoš Janáček, with an international biennale named after him. Throughout the year, there are festivals in all genres. But Brno is also shaped by small, independent alternative associations and local communities. The city proudly takes part in the trend of music and art in public spaces. Art lives in the streets, play- grounds, meadows, planetarium, darkened cinemas. Music is omnipresent and so one of the reasons Brno is able to boast of its prestigious title as a UNESCO Creative City of Music.

    MASARYK UNIVERSITY OF BRNO FACULTY OF EDUCATION Bachelor thesis Brno 2014 Tomáš Kvítek Masaryk University Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus and The Royal Hunt of the Sun Bachelor Thesis Brno 2014 Supervisor: Written by: Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, Ph.D. Tomáš Kvítek 2 Anotace Hlavním záměrem této bakalářské práce je analyzovat postavy Wolfganga Mozarta, Antonia Salieriho a Francisca Pizarra ve dvou divadelních hrách významného anglického dramatika a scénáristy Petera Shaffera, jehož díla Amadeus a Královský Hon na Slunce významně přispěly do britského kulturního dědictví. Úvodní část představuje Petera Shaffera v kontextu postmoderního britského divadla, a následně zmiňuje hry, které byly adaptovány pro české divadlo. Primárně však tato práce zkoumá osobnostní charakteristiky hlavních protagonistů, jejich postoje a myšlenky z hlediska jejich sociálního a kulturního zázemí. Práce také kriticky nahlíží na dobu imperialismu z hlediska postmodernismu v kontextu těchto her. Annotation The main objectives of this thesis is to analyse the characters of Wolfgang Mozart, Antonio Salieri and Fancisco Pizarro in two plays written by an eminent English playwright and screenwriter Peter Shaffer whose masterpieces Amadeus and The Royal Hunt of The Sun have significantly contributed to British cultural heritage. The introductory part places Peter Shaffer in the context of post-modern British theatre and subsequently, introduces those of his plays that have been adapted for Czech theatres. Primarily, however, it examines the protagonists’ personal characteristics, their attitudes and thoughts within a perception of their social and cultural background. It also conducts a critical look into the era of imperialism from the perspective of post-modernism within the context of the plays.

Festival Activities: Opera performances from the Czech Republic and Overseas Symphonic Concerts Chamber Concerts Choral Concerts Matinées International Colloquium Workshops for Children Exhibitions Introductory Lectures Main Organiser: National Theatre Brno (Národní divadlo Brno) Co-organisers: Moravian Museum, Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts, Brno Philharmonic and Masaryk University About the Festival: Just as in Czech history, the years ending with the number eight have an almost symbolic significance, so in Czech musical history it is the number four. The National Theatre Brno was opened in 1884; Bedřich Smetana, the founder of national Czech music, lived from 1824 to 1884; Antonín Dvořák died in 1904; Josef Suk was born in 1874 and other composers whose lives are connected with the number four include Kryštof Harant from Polžice, František Václav Míča, Emil František Burian, Jan Rychlík, Karel Kryl and Jan Klusák. A sorrowful anniversary refers to the year 1944, when the outstanding Jewish composers Pavel Haas, Viktor Ullmann and Hans Krása died during the Nazi persecution. However, for the 4th International Janáček Brno Festival 2014, the significant date is the 160th anniversary of Janáček’s birth. All of the important musical anniversaries are commemorated in the ‘Year of Czech Music’ with a sincere and festive quality.
