Jan谩膷ek's tale of shame, betrayal and forgiveness from The Royal Opera, with a stand-out cast including Corinne Winters and Karita Mattila, conducted by Jakub Hr暖拧a.
Jen暖fa is secretly pregnant by her alcohol-loving lover, but her stepmother is determined not to let Jen暖fa make the same mistakes she did, whatever the cost. Jan谩膷ek brings his story vividly to life in a score infused with drama, lyricism and the traditional folk melodies of his native Moravia. Jakub Hr暖拧a, The Royal Opera鈥檚 music director-designate, conducts a stand-out cast including Corinne Winters as Jen暖fa, and Karita Mattila her complex stepmother Kostelni膷ka.
Presented by Andrew McGregor in conversation with Jan谩膷ek expert Nigel Simeone.
Recorded at the Royal Opera House, London, on 1 February 2025.
