Jenufa

A sensational and shocking tour de force!

Nowhere in opera is reality more raw and uncensored than in Jenufa, an intensely dramatic and deeply moving opera by the great Czech composer Leos Janácek. The innocent peasant girl Jenufa loves the town's feckless playboy too passionately, and the devoted Laca loves her too jealously. Meanwhile, her self-righteous stepmother's misguided style of tough love leads to tragic results.

When this riveting production premiered at the Metropolitan Opera, New York magazine praised director Olivier Tambosi: "He explores the characters' actions with blistering intensity." Jenufa promises an evening of gripping drama and compelling music you won't soon forget.

Mattila je přesvědčivá.

Astrid Varnay is the best Kostelnicka. Urbanová se strašně předvádí. Kostelnička není žádná diva.

Is there any way to get the complete video of the performance? Thanks in advance.

Both of them are thrilling! I love Mattila

I'm taking a group of my A-level students to see it next week. Can't wait - glad it was good!

Blimey - I saw it for the first time last night at Glyndebourne. I thought it was going to be 'long and difficult evening' but it was the most gripping, moving opera I have ever seen. I'm sold. Anne Mason stole the show as Kostelnicka.

Saw Matill do this with Silja. Honestly the most moving and exciting evening I have ever spent in a theatre.
