after "The Storm" by Aleksandr Nikolayevich Ostrovsky
Performed in Czech
Perhaps Janácek's masterpiece, alongside Jenufa. A young woman deceives her absent husband, regrets her deception, confesses it to him and throws herself in the river. A simple and terrible story that Janáček tells without frills. Angela Denoke revives Christoph Marthaler's shattering production, one of his finest successes.
