Our sparkling soprano Minna Tägil as Jano in Jenufa at The Royal Opera in Sthlm.
Runs from Sept 28 to October 28.
A passionate young woman, a murdered child and a strong, over-protective stepmother who wants to do well, but acts terribly wrong. Jenůfa is not only a powerful drama about women, it is one of the most heart-rending works on the opera repertoire. It is set in a closed, claustrophobic community where women must keep within the boundaries of their religion and strict gender roles. Although the opera was written around the turn of the last century, there are striking similarities to our own time.
