When a beautiful young woman in rural Moravia becomes unexpectedly pregnant, she learns that love is sometimes only skin-deep. Janáček took Gabriela Preissová's grim tale of infanticide and redemption, and condensed it into a masterful, spine-chilling drama. The tragic plight of the protagonists is presented with unsentimental realism that cannot help but trigger a response of deep compassion. Premiered at the National Theatre in the composer's hometown of Brno 115 years ago, the opera took him nine years to complete and is the first in which his distinctive voice can clearly be heard.

Live broadcast of a concert by the band The Tap Tap from the women's prison in Světlá nad Sázavou. Also performing are Katr band and Wsedě. The Tap Tap band, led by Šimon Ornest, has prepared a project in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and the Prison Service, which will culminate in a concert at the women's prison in Světlá nad Sázavou. Not only will the audience consist of women serving prison sentences, but the local band Katr band, also composed of female prisoners, will provide choral accompaniment to songs from The Tap Tap's new album. In this way, everyone is putting into practice the motto "Even with a bad hand, you can win if you don't give up."
