Premiere at the Mikhailovsky Theatre: December 16, 2010

Performed in Czech (the performance will have synchronised Russian supertitles)

The first opera premiere of the 178th season is Kat’a Kabanova, written by a most interesting representative of the Czech music Leos Janacek, a realist composer, who always strove to convey the truth of life in his compositions.

The opera is largely based on The Storm, a play by the renowned Russian playwright Alexander Ostrovsky. The libretto was written by the composer, who used the translation of the play by Vincenc Cervinka. Janacek abridged the everyday and genre components but developed the lyric one; he kept the main lines of action and revealed the depth of Katerina’s drama. Janacek’s music is full-blooded; it’s the movement towards life and light. It’s healthy, boiling hot, spirited and arresting. One can see Janacek’s interest in people’s speech in it: he used the melodic elements borrowed from the everyday colloquial intonations.

The opera is truthful and highly emotional, though it doesn’t have direct relationship with Russian folklore; it appears that the composer didn’t set the task of expressing the local flavour.

On the whole, the opera is an almost ideal combination of the beautiful music and drama, hence, there’s something to be sung, acted, and invented. The Mikhailovsky Opera has started rehearsing — we’re looking forward to the premiere.
