Její pastorkyňa

Description

Její pastorkyňa is the first of the classic stage works by Leoš Janáček, a world-renowned opera dramatist. Janáček, with a sense of earthy dramatic intensity and great compassion, portrays human relationships shaped by the harsh environment of a closed village community, where people live under the watchful eyes of others. This impacts the life of the girl Jenůfa and primarily drives the actions of her stepmother Kostelnička, who desperately tries to maintain her reputation as a virtuous woman and the respect of the entire village. Paradoxically, she does this through the secret murder of Jenůfa's illegitimate child. Její pastorkyňa is a gripping drama about distrust, jealousy, various forms of love, and the ability to forgive even the unforgivable.
