About Play

One of Janáček's most famous operas Jenůfa tells the story of two women trying to find a way to resolve a difficult situation in an unforgiving environment.

Jenůfa gets pregnant with the irresponsible Števa, who does not want to marry her. In an environment where single mothers find it hard to survive and which does not favour women, her stepmother Kostelnička decides to take an action that is to change Jenůfa's fate once and for all. Directed by Veronika Kos Loulová with the all-female production team, Jenůfa delivers a captivating narrative from the perspective of the women who have something to say to the story.
