Patricia Burda Janečková was born in Germany to Slovak parents, grew up and lived in Ostrava, where she studied opera singing at the Janáček Conservatory. She has appeared at festivals in the Czech Republic and abroad, performed as a soloist with many Czech and Slovak symphony and chamber orchestras, and worked at the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre.

In 2010, at the age of twelve, she won the Czech-Slovak TV competition Talentmania. In 2014 she became the absolute winner of the Concorso Internazionale Musica Sacra world singing competition in Rome. She was awarded a scholarship to a summer singing course in Arezzo, Italy. In 2016 she received three awards at the International Antonín Dvořák Singing Competition in Karlovy Vary.

Last year, she announced that she was battling a malignant breast tumor. This year she married actor Vlastimil Burda.

Jak na ni vzpomíná Národní divadlo moravskoslezské

V našem divadle začínala Patricia v Operním studiu NDM už jako malé dítě. Jako členka OS účinkovala v muzikálu Kytice (premiéra 2014) a její první „dospělou“ rolí u nás byla Julie v muzikálu skladatele Borise Urbánka a textaře Jaromíra Nohavici Romeo a Julie, poselství lásky (premiéra v prosinci 2017, derniéra v lednu 2020). Naši diváci ji znají i z oper – naposledy z nové Prodané nevěsty, kde zpívala Esmeraldu. Na Fakultě umění OU byla žačkou Evy Dřízgové-Jirušové. Její srdcovkou byl ale muzikál. Aktuálně hrála Mariu v muzikálu West Side Story – letos 20. června právě touto rolí zakončila sezónu. Začala se už připravovat i na hlavní roli v původním komorním muzikálu INTTERVIEW, který jí a Tomáši Savkovi autoři napsali doslova na tělo a (jak ve svém nekrologu píše i šéfka souboru) divadlo nyní novinku památce Patricii věnuje. Publikum si ji vybaví jako Johannu ve Sweeneym Toddovi (prem. 2023) nebo ve dvojroli Pamely Penrosové a modelky Nathalie v muzikálu Květiny pro paní Harrisovou (prem. v říjnu 2020, není již na repertoáru). Patricia Janečková se nebála o své nemoci mluvit a sdílet své zkušenosti s léčbou. Letos se choroba vrátila s ještě větší silou a Patricia s ní boj prohrála.
