In this Olivier Award-winning staging of the 1903 opera by Janacek, the setting is updated to an isolated 20th century industrial estate in the Eastern Bloc. Directed by David Alden, it gives the story a contemporary edge that makes it feel even more relevant for today's audiences – while remaining the same grim tragedy of infanticide, redemption and unsentimental realism. When her baby's body is found on her wedding day, Jenufa's guilt is plain to all. The village demands justice on a woman who would kill her child to clear the path for love. Except that she didn't. It was her stepmother who committed the murder. For Jenufa's sake. The powerful score is conducted by ENO's music director Mark Wigglesworth. American soprano Laura Wilde makes her role debut as Jenufa, with Michaela Martens as her stepmother the Kostelnička (widow of the churchwarden). ★★★★★ – The Times ★★★★☆ – The Guardian ★★★★☆ – The Scotsman ★★★★☆ – The Stage ★★★★☆ – The List Sung and surtitled in English.
