The Beginning of a Romance ("Počátek Románu") is an opera by Leoš Janáček to a Czech libretto by Jaroslav Tichý after a short story by Gabriela Preissová, itself suggested by a painting by Jaroslav Věšín. Composed in 1891, it was first produced on October 2, 1894 in Brno. Although not a successful work, it is significant because it marks the beginning of Janáček's association with Gabriela Preissová, who also wrote the story on which Jenůfa, his first great opera, was based.
