Today Její pastorkyòa (Her Stepdaughter, known in English-speaking countries by the stepdaughter’s name, Jenùfa) is an opera that theatres all over the world include in their repertoires on a regular basis. Janáèek‘s music and the captivating story appeal to more and more theatre-goers. The dramatic tale, which still draws attention and provides food for thought, presents human relations shaped by the harsh environment of a closed community, where each person lives constantly under the watch of others. The social hierarchy determines one’s position, which binds one, and the only liberation from the ambience of intolerance is radical departure. This environment affects the life of Jenùfa and above all influences the conduct of her stepmother, the Kostelnièka (sacristan), who strives to maintain her position and the respect of the whole village at any cost.

Our new staging of this beautiful and unique opera is the work of stage director Jiøí Nekvasil and set designer Daniel Dvoøák and has already been highly acclaimed in opera houses in Dublin and Riga, which are presenting it as a co-production with the National Theatre. An exceptional musical experience will be assured by conductor Jiøí Kout, who is taking charge of musical rehearsals.
