Katia Kabanova

Válido

Katya Kabanova is one of the 20th century’s greatest operas.  Janáček wrote music of blazing intensity inspired by his own love for a young woman.  A second inspiration was Puccini’s Madama Butterfly which, he says, was the impetus musically and dramatically.

Director David Alden (ROH, the Met, Munich, Vienna) creates the claustrophobic village for acclaimed soprano, Natalya Romaniw, in the title role.  Trapped in a loveless marriage, she is driven to despair by the Kabanov clan led by her vile mother-in-law, Kabanicha.  This epic character is none other than Susan Bullock.

Janáček’s score brims with vocal and orchestral writing of extreme beauty. “Katya”, he wrote, “is one of my most tender works”.
