Gran Teatre del Liceu
Premiere
Jenůfa, by Leoš Janáček, floods the Liceu with overwhelming emotional power in Àlex Ollé’s new and exceptional production, with the ever-revealing conducting of Jonathan Nott and a luxury cast led by Asmik Grigorian and Nina Stemme. Inspired by the harshness of rural life and the stern morality of a closed community, Jenůfa becomes a modern passion in which the sacred and the sacrilegious intertwine in an unsettling dance of devastating consequences. At the heart of the drama beat two female figures in constant tension: Jenůfa, wounded by love and shame, and the Kostelnička, her stepmother, both moral beacon and author of a crime that changes everything. Jenůfa embodies profaned innocence that, despite the pain, remains sacred; The Kostelnička, on the other hand, represents the paroxysm of a law without compassion: the strict voice of community and religion.
