Biography
[edit]Míča was born in Náměšť nad Oslavou. He conducted many opera performances for royal families. The most paramount example of his work is probably the opera O původu Jaroměřic (About the Origins of Jaroměřice), written in both Italian and Czech, in which he also sung the role of Gualtero.
He died in Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou.
A symphony now believed to be by his nephew František Adam Míča was once attributed to him.[citation needed]
