Czech composer Leo Janceks most famous opera, Jenufa is a harrowing tale of forbidden love, abandonment, hypocrisy, desperation, and tragic infanticide. As todays second most frequently performed Czech opera (following Dvorks 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 Englishlanguage translation of the original Czech libretto. As with the first two books in the Jancek Opera Libretti series (Prhody liky Bystrouky, The Cunning Little Vixen and Kta Kabanov), this volume consists of two parts. Part One gives background on the opera, a discussion about the various voice types and roles, Janceks style and Czech performance traditions, Czech folk costumes, and a summary of Czech pronunciation and inflection. Part Two provides the original Czech libretto, wordforword 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.
