A harrowing tale of forbidden love, desperation, and reconciliation, Jenůfa is a strikingly original opera with an intense drama at its core. When Jenůfa gives birth to a child out of wedlock in a claustrophobic village community, her stepmother secretly kills her baby to protect Jenůfa’s honor and future. In the end, Jenůfa is reconciled with the terrible events of her life through the power of forgiveness. Starring acclaimed sopranos Latonia Moore and Nina Stemme, Jenůfa is a story of a nuclear family that, while psychologically disturbing, is musically a profound expression of the human condition.
This production is part of the 2025 Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Opera & Humanities Festival
