Musical inspired by the Brno legend narrating, why the bells of Petrov chime at eleven o
There are many legends narrating about the Swedes in front of the Brno town walls during the times of the Thirty Years’ War. For instance, the one telling how the bakers of Bystrc (nowadays a quarter of Brno) used to supply the City with their bread that would be carried to the centre inside a secret corridor leading to the well in Špilberk (the Brno castle) or about the shooting championship of a Špilberk cannoneer who managed to shoot a goblet, held by the Swedish general Torstenson, out of his hand. Such stories and many others are traditionally connected with Brno.
Stemming from these legends and loosely inspired by the relevant historic facts, we are trying to narrate a fictitious love story portraying both pains and cruelties as well as the time in which the story is situated.
