The staging mirrors the rigid morality of its world, yet Janáček’s music paints it in a wealth of colours—passionate, expressive, and unflinchingly direct, speaking straight to the heart. The production is conducted by Alejo Pérez.
Premiered in Athens in 2018, this staging is directed by Nicola Raab, who has enjoyed remarkable success at the Göteborg Opera with Thaïs (2010) and A Flowering Tree (2015).
A production from the Greek National Opera.
