Czech composer Leos Janacek's most famous opera, Jenufa is a
harrowing tale of forbidden love, abandonment, hypocrisy,
desperation, and tragic infanticide. As today's second most
frequently performed Czech opera (following Dvorak's Rusalka),
Jenufa holds a prominent place in international opera repertoire
and continues to draw the attention of new audiences. Drawing on
both scholarly studies and production experience, Timothy Cheek
presents an original English-language translation of the original
Czech libretto. As with the first two books in the Janacek Opera
Libretti series (Prihody lisky Bystrousky, The Cunning Little Vixen
and Kat'a Kabanova), this volume consists of two parts. Part One
gives background on the opera, a discussion about the various voice
types and roles, Janacek's style and Czech performance traditions,
Czech folk costumes, and a summary of Czech pronunciation and
inflection. Part Two provides the original Czech libretto,
word-for-word English translations, idiomatic English translations,
IPA for pronunciation of the Czech, translations of the stage
directions, and notes about certain words in Czech dialect. As a
valuable resource not only for performers and directors, but also
historians and opera lovers, this book brings new accessibility to
a beloved and timeless opera.
