Kat'a Kabanova is both the first Janacek opera to have been
performed in Britain and the one which has received the most
productions in Britain and the USA. In this book John Tyrrell
brings together letters, early reviews and other documents (most of
them translated from Czech for the first time) on the opera's
composition and its early performances. A group of key
interpretations of the opera ranges from one by the opera's German
translator and Janacek's first biographer Max Brod to specially
commissioned essays by Wilfrid Mellers and by David Pountney,
producer of the highly successful Welsh National Opera/Scottish
Opera Janacek cycle.
