With few exceptions, regularly alternating within Janáček’s opera oeuvre are light, almost burlesque works and highly dramatic and tragic works. Katya Kabanova, composed on the basis of A. N. Ostrovsky’s drama The Tempest and first staged in Brno in 1921, belongs firmly to the latter group. When it comes to thematic focus, it is very closely related to Jenůfa: the emotional freedom and non-conformity of human behaviour is suffocated by the outer order, which only protects those respecting it utterly. However, unlike Jenůfa, Katya is primarily subject to a disastrous inner struggle between desire and reason. She is undoubtedly the greatest and most rounded Janáček female dramatic character. Katya Kabanova will return to the National Theatre stage after an interval of 18 years. The production will be helmed by a world-famous stage wizard with a singular dramatic handwriting, the American director Robert Wilson, who already directed here in 2002 Janáček’s opera Fate.
