About

Why Jenufa? We can talk about a moving drama set to wonderful music, or constantly recall the tragic realities of our own time, honour killings being among them. Not long ago this was a controversial work by a composer from the European margin.

Today this opera about strong yet vulnerable women, seemingly bearers of their own repression, is recognized as one of the great masterpieces in the opera repertoire. It was created by a radical young female playwright, who preferred to write about other peoples‘ lives rather than her own, and a male composer, passionate up to old age about new aspects of man and human existence.

Why does one want others to be hit by Jenufa – a tragedy of “ordinary human beings” that affects deeply, beyond historical and cultural differences? A strong music drama of unsentimental compassion – how could one not want to share it with as many people as possible?

When I saw Jenufa for the first time, in my early twenties, it was a revelation for me. This music theatre seemed to be more immediate and shocking than anything I had ever witnessed before ... Years later, after my own first production at Malmö Opera, I feel the same.” - Orpha Phelan, Stage Director
