Leonie Rysanek as Kostelnicka from Jenufa

[coryisawake]

Such a human performance; I'd imagine it'd be hard to sit through this in person without getting chills.

It truly is an amazing opera.

Interesting finish "...bídná duša!"

I attended this unforgettable performance at Barcelona. The conductor was ¡¡Vaclav Neumann!!. The following this same production was repeated at Madrid in La Zarzuela, conducted by Jiri Behlolavek. I repeated.

Rysanek makes even Silja look sane by comparison.
