The great Czech composer Leoš Janáček was a regular visitor of the Moravian spa town of Luhačovice, and composed a number of his works there. However, only one of his musical compositions is actually set in Luhačovice – the opera Osud (Destiny or Fate).
The Janáček and Luhačovice Festival, one of the most prestigious music events in the Czech Republic, has been organized every year since 1992 to honour the world-famous Czech composer Leoš Janáček and will be taking place for the 30th time this year from 11 to 16 July.
The Moravian spa town of Luhačovice is closely associated with Leoš Janáček, who went there every year from 1903 until his death in 1928.
