Divadlo na Orlí is the music and drama laboratory of the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts (JAMU) in Brno, open since 2012. The building, designed by Brno architects Pavel Rada and Milan Rak, fills a gap left by wartime destruction in World War II. Its flexible hall seats up to 150 and is used by students of the Music and Theatre faculties for operas, musicals and other productions. The basement houses a recording studio built as a concrete block suspended across two floors to minimise outside noise.
