Leos Janáček in Prague

Janáček spent his artistically active life in Prague. Nevertheless, Prague was fateful for his career in 1916. Finally, after an agonizingly long 12 years, Prague decided to perform “Jenufa,” which had already premiered in Brno in 1904. Although some changes were made to the work, thanks to the performance and an article by Max Brod published in Germany, the work became famous and Janáček, at the age of 62, became known to a wider public for the first time.

Destination Hotel & Café Imperial

It was here in this beautiful Art Nouveau hotel, built in 1914, that Janáček descended during his visits to Prague. Franz Kafka was also a regular visitor to the beautiful Café Imperial (Na Poříčí 15, Prague 1).
