Live from the Met: Katya Kabanova
Janacek 's brooding, tragic opera, Katya feels she's fading away in the house of her weak husband, Tichon, and his fearsome mother Kabanicha. Katya has a fling with Boris during Tichon's absence, but on his return she confesses everything out of shame and drowns herself in the Volga.
New York Metropolitan Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Jiri Belohlavek Acts land 2
