Festival tentokrát představí Její pastorkyni v podání poznaňského souboru z Teatr Wielki, který patří k předním polským operním souborům s více než stoletou historií. Přiváží slavnou inscenací původně vytvořenou pro bruselské La Monnaie lotyšským režisérem a dramatikem Alvisem Hermanisem, který dnes patří mezi vůdčí osobnosti evropské divadelní scény. Působivá inscenace je výtvarně inspirována a stylizována v 1. a 3. jednání do opulentních obrazů à la Alfons Mucha se sborem v bohatých krojích. O to větším kontrastem je zde 2. jednání přenesené do 60. let, do éry komunismu, kde stylizaci ve chvílích vrcholící tragédie vystřídá realistické herectví.

Její pastorkyňa patří k nejslavnějším Janáčkovým dílům. Na jejím počátku bylo realistické drama G. Preissové (1862–1946), které si skladatel sám upravil do podoby operního libreta. Přestože musel text dramatu výrazně zkrátit, podařilo se mu účinek tragického příběhu z moravského venkova ještě prohloubit. Marnotratný a nestálý Števa, prudký, a přece v jádru laskavý Laca, a především neúprosná Kostelnička, kterou snaha zachovat si postavení a respekt ve vesnické komunitě přivede k vraždě dítěte její schovanky Jenůfy. Janáček (1854–1928) zachytil jednotlivé charaktery v mistrné dramatické zkratce, z které až mrazí, a zároveň v nás vzbouzí soucit a pochopení. Práce na Její pastorkyni zabrala Janáčkovi bezmála devět let. První jednání opery dokončil roku 1897, druhé a třetí pak vznikalo za okolností pro Janáčkovu rodinu nanejvýš tragických. V roce 1902 skladatelova dcera Olga těžce onemocněla během návštěvy Janáčkova bratra v Petrohradu. Janáček dokončil druhé jednání opery po Olžině návratu a třetí těsně před její smrtí v únoru roku 1903. Její pastorkyni připsal památce své dcery. Premiéru opery chtěl Janáček svěřit pražskému Národnímu divadlu, byl však odmítnut s tím, že opera není vhodná k provozování na přední české scéně. První provedení se tedy konalo v Brně 21. 1. 1904 a sklidilo neobyčejný úspěch. Až v roce 1915 se podařilo přesvědčit vedení pražského divadla a dirigenta Karla Kovařovice, aby Její pastorkyni provedli. Po velmi úspěšné pražské premiéře 26. 5. 1916 se Janáček konečně prosadil jako skladatel nejen v českém, ale záhy i světovém měřítku.

This time, the festival will present Jejja pastorkyni performed by the Poznań troupe from the Teatr Wielki, which is one of the leading Polish opera troupes with more than a hundred years of history. He brings a famous production originally created for La Monnaie in Brussels by the Latvian director and playwright Alvis Hermanis, who today is one of the leading figures of the European theater scene. The impressive production is artistically inspired and stylized in Acts 1 and 3 into opulent paintings à la Alfons Mucha with a chorus in rich costumes. The 2nd act is all the more contrasted here, transferred to the 1960s, to the era of communism, where stylization in moments of peak tragedy is replaced by realistic acting.

Her Shepherdess belongs to Janáček's most famous works. It began with a realistic drama by G. Preissová (1862–1946), which the composer himself adapted into an opera libretto. Although he had to significantly shorten the text of the drama, he succeeded in deepening the effect of the tragic story from the Moravian countryside. The spendthrift and fickle Števa, the violent, yet at heart kind Laca, and above all the relentless Kostelnička, whose efforts to maintain her position and respect in the village community will lead her to murder the child of her shelter, Jenůfa. Janáček (1854–1928) captured the individual characters in a masterly dramatic shorthand that gives us chills and at the same time arouses compassion and understanding in us. Janáček took almost nine years to work on Her Shepherdess. He finished the first act of the opera in 1897, the second and third were created under extremely tragic circumstances for Janáček's family. In 1902, the composer's daughter Olga fell seriously ill during a visit to Janáček's brother in St. Petersburg. Janáček completed the second act of the opera after Olga's return and the third just before her death in February 1903. He attributed it to her godmother in memory of his daughter. Janáček wanted to entrust the premiere of the opera to the National Theater in Prague, but he was refused, saying that the opera was not suitable for performing on the leading Czech stage. The first performance took place in Brno on January 21, 1904 and was an extraordinary success. It was not until 1915 that the management of the Prague theater and the conductor Karel Kovařovic were persuaded to perform Her Godmother. After the very successful Prague premiere on 26 May 1916, Janáček finally established himself as a composer not only in the Czech Republic, but soon also on a world scale.
