Janáček after Preissová
claSSIc rEVIVal
David alden’s searing production of Jenu˚fa receives its first revival
since winning two olivier awards in 2007, including one for
outstanding achievement in opera for amanda roocroft, who
returns in the title role. Jenu˚fa is Janáček’s most popular work.
ostensibly bleak — a stepmother commits an unspeakable act of
cruelty — this nonetheless remains an opera where love and
forgiveness triumph. after her success in Philip Glass’ Satyagraha
at the metropolitan opera, new york, michaela martens plays the role
of the Stepmother, while the outstanding norwegian Eivind Gullberg
Jensen conducts what is undoubtedly one of the greatest operatic
scores of the 20th century.
