The Opening of the Wells is one of Bohuslav Martinů’s most famous compositions, inspired by his native region, the Moravian Highlands. Not many people know that they can visit the wells that inspired this piece and that the place is linked to Martinů’s romance with his pupil, and later a composer in her own right, Vítězslava Kaprálová.
In the heart of the Moravian Highlands at an altitude of 733 metres there is a village called Tři Studně (Three Wells).
