Moravian capital to make Janacek's Brno regular event

The Czech Republic's second city Brno is planning to hold regular festivals dedicated to the composer Leos Janacek, starting in 2008. The city's National Theatre will organise the new bi-annual festival. However, it is not the first Janacek's Brno; that was held in 2004 to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of the composer, who spent much of his life in the Moravian capital.
