Als zweites Opernhighlight aus Salzburg zeigt der ORF Barrie Koskys Neuinszenierung von Leoš Janáčeks „Kát’a Kabanová“ (Samstag, 13. August, 19.30 Uhr, Ö1; Montag, 15. August, 10.50 Uhr, ORF 2; Samstag, 20. August, 20.15 Uhr, 3sat) aus der Felsenreitschule. Die Titelpartie der Produktion hat Corinne Winters übernommen, weiters sind u. a. David Butt Philip, Jaroslav Březina und Evelyn Herlitzius zu erleben. Dirigent Jakub Hrůša gibt am Pult der Wiener Philharmoniker sein Festspieldebüt.

First performed in Brno in 1921, Káťa Kabanová marks the beginning of Leoš Janáček's last creative decade. The libretto to Káťa Kabanová is based on the Czech translation of Alexander Ostrovsky's 1859 play The Thunderstorm, set in a small-town milieu ruled by wealthy merchants in mid-19th-century Russia.

Janáček's musico-dramatic style in the last years of his life, which reflects the "speech melodies" he has researched a lot, is unmistakable: he concentrates characters, psychology and situations, and creates an atmosphere that touches the audience directly and immediately. In his new production of Káťa Kabanová at the Salzburg Festival, director Barrie Kosky would like to illustrate the contrast and the tension between the protagonist and her restrictive world.

Corinne Winters takes on the leading role of Káťa, whose burning urge for freedom is in danger of being stifled by her marriage and her seemingly claustrophobic living situation. Jaroslav Březina slips into the role of her husband Tikhon, who seeks refuge in alcohol, whose mother, the merchant's widow Kabanicha (Evelyn Herlitzius), watches over the household with a nagging tone and a despotic hand. When the opportunity arises, Káťa's sister-in-law Varvara (Jarmila Balážová), aware of Káťa's unfulfilled desires and secret love, arranges a meeting with the unmarried Boris (David Butt Philip), and the fateful story unfolds. The role of Boris' uncle Savjol Prokofjevič Dikoj, who in turn pays his respects to Káťa's mother-in-law, is sung by German bass Jens Larsen.
