Description was written before the event

An opera performance of Aida takes place in the historic Špilberk Castle in Brno.

About the venue: Arnold Villa

Arnold Villa in Brno's Černá Pole district is a historicist building from 1862, designed and built for his own use by master builder Josef Arnold. Around 1909 it was remodelled in the late Art Nouveau style with Art Deco elements. Today it is administered by the Brno City Museum and houses the Centre for Dialogue – a cultural and educational space offering guided tours, a permanent exhibition on the villa's history and Brno's Jewish community, as well as temporary exhibitions and lectures.
