The premiere led by Maestro Łukasz Borowicz features two works seemingly unrelated to each other: “Zápisník zmizelého” by Leoš Janáček and “El amor brujo” by Manuel de Falla.

They are both united by same themes: an obsessive love leading the characters to extreme life choices, a gypsy motif (Gypsies from Moravia and Andalusia) and a unique chamber cast of instruments characteristic for the second decade of the 20th century.

The work of de Falla was performed in the original 1915 version, while the song cycle by Janáček, which had its premiere in Strasbourg, resounded for the first time in the new orchestration by Arthur Levandier. De Falla masterpiece is accompanied by a flamenco star Esperanza Fernández and a team of flamenco dancers led by Manuel Liñan.
