Katya Kabanova

Description

The first musical fruit of Janacek's romance with Kamila Stösslova, Katya Kabanova has a universal and timeless theme: an agonizing conflict between old and new. Based on Ostrovsky's play The Storm, the opera, set in a small village on the banks of the Volga, tells the story of an illicit love affair between Katya, a married woman, and Boris, a young man from Moscow. The reactions of her family and neighbors make a compelling and tragic study of human frailty. Recorded in the New Theatre, Cardiff, and sung in English.
