Love, jealousy and fear of social conseguences are the forces that drive the four main characters in Janacek's first mature opera. Jenufa is loved by two rival half-brothers, and her stepmother Kostelnicka is afraid she'll ruin herself by marrying a drunkard. Jenufa's revelation that she is pregnant changes everything and leads to tragic consequences. A new production by David Alden for English National Opera.
