Approved

For director David Pountney, Jenůfa is , despite all the gloom, an opera of salvation in which the protagonist matures into a human heroine. Because even after numerous strokes of fate that hit her in a narrow-minded society, she finds the strength to forgive all those who are responsible for her misfortune. With Asmik Grigorian in the title role, an exceptional phenomenon is on stage: an artist who penetrates the roles entrusted to her with the highest intensity and creates characters of breathless, magical power.

English

Für Regisseur David Pountney ist Jenůfa, trotz aller Düsternis, eine Erlösungsoper, in der die Protagonistin zur menschlichen Heroine reift. Denn selbst nach zahlreichen Schicksalsschlägen, die sie in einer engstirnigen Gesellschaft treffen, findet sie die Kraft, all jenen zu verzeihen, die Schuld an ihrem Unglück haben. Mit Asmik Grigorian in der Titelpartie steht eine Ausnahmeerscheinung auf der Bühne: Eine Künstlerin, die die ihr anvertrauten Partien mit höchster Intensität durchdringt und Charaktere von atemlos machender Bannkraft schafft.
