How can I install brasero in Ubuntu 16.04?

It's probably repository issue, Your /etc/apt/sources.list doesn't contain what is needed.

sudo echo "deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install brasero

For more informations You can check this article:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/brasero


Edit:

If you're using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Live CD, you can check the Universe checkbox in "Software & Updates" (second one in screenshot) from the "show applications" menu. Universe Checkbox

    As Brasero dropped out of the core apps in 16.04, I tried to install brasero via APT but with no luck

    sudo apt-get install brasero
    

    The response tells me that there is no package brasero.

    Brasero isn't found in the new Gnome Software either :-(

    Do I need a specific PPA or this just because 16.04 is still beta?

    EDIT:
    For some reason the universe repository was not ticked in Applications & Updates. See answer below for the solution.

    sudo echo … > /some/file won't work. On Debian, I'd expect you're running around as root, which is why the redirection might work. The linked post explains why sudo is ineffective here, and the workaround.

    Ah yes, that may be quite issue tho. I added my user to sudoers just to speed stuff up when i do need it, so right.
