The exhibition The Girls of Room 28  opened in Wales Millennium Centre on 7 June 2019 in Cardiff, as part of Welsh National Opera’s FREEDOM Season. It can be seen till end of June. 

One of the highlights of this year's Freedom Season are performances of the opera Brundibár by Hans Krása. 

The opera will be directed by David Pountney, theatre-and opera director and artistic director of WNO.

Tomáš Hanuš, musical head of the WNO, will conduct the music.

Flaška, as Anna Hanusová was nicknamed by her friends, was and is the soul of the "Girls of Ro0m 28" Project (Room 28 Projects). It was her desire to create a lasting memory in honour of their friends of Room 28.

Flaška was part of the Brundibár ensemble in Theresienstadt and for many years shared her experiences with thousands of people, young and old, and conveyed to them how it was for her to play in Brundibár and what the opera meant to her and the children. 

I am happy that it is her son Tomaš who is conducting the music of this outstanding WNO production.

Brundibár and the Girls of Room 28 - these are two stories closely intertwined... 

which is why the American publisher of the book (Schocken Books) created  this book-cover with a still of the propaganda film (known as 'The Führer gives a City to the Jews') with children in Theresienstadt singing the finale of Brundibár.)
