Why See San Francisco Opera: Jenufa?

Classical & Opera

When the righteous sin, can they be forgiven?

Karita Mattila and Malin Bystrom star in this grim morality tale with themes that still echo in some climates around the world today. When Jenufa falls pregnant, she prays that the father, the boisterous Stava, will marry her and make her and the child legitimate, much to the chagrin on his stepbrother Laca, who is torn between love and jealousy for the young woman. When Stava abandons her Laca acts out maliciously, and it is up to her severe step mother, Kostelnica to step in, leading to a suitably tragic outcome.

Set in 19th Century Moravia, Kostelnica has long been seen as Janacek's most vivid characters, as she is forced to deal with the secret prenancy and resulting child, attempting to save Jenufa from ruin, whilst losing herself in the process. This story of redemption, sin, love and forgiveness is likely to stick with you long after you've left the auditorium.
