Description
Její pastorkyňa is one of Janáček's most famous works and is a permanent part of the repertoire of the Brno opera. At its beginning was the realistic drama by Gabriela Preissová, which the composer himself adapted into an opera libretto. Although he had to significantly shorten the text of the drama, he managed to deepen the impact of the tragic story from the Moravian countryside. The wasteful and fickle Števa, the passionate yet fundamentally kind Laca, and above all the relentless Kostelnička, whose struggle to maintain her position and respect in the village community leads her to the murder of her ward Jenůfa's child.
