Janacek's opera \"Katja Kabanová,\" directed by Barry Kosky and performed at the Salzburg Festival in 2022, will be released on video. Janacek composed nine operas during his lifetime. His first two operas, \"Schalka\" and \"The Story Begins,\" were not successful, but his third opera, \"Jenufa,\" was revived in Prague in 1916 and subsequently performed in Vienna, Cologne, Berlin, and New York, bringing Janacek international recognition for the first time. Janacek was already 60 years old at the time. Janacek was already over 60 years old at the time, but his creative life entered a fruitful period, which included \"The Tale of the Clever Fox\" (1922\/23), \"The Makropoulos Affair\" (1923-25), \"Sinfonietta\" (1926), \"Glagolitic Mass\" (1926\/27), and his last opera From the House of the Dead\" (1927\/28), his last opera, \"From the House of the Dead\" (1927\/28), and many others have been well received by the public.Katya Kabanová is Janacek's sixth opera. Janacek's creative spirit was greatly influenced by women, especially his love for his late wife of 38 years, Camilla Shteslová, who inspired him to create many of his works. Among his many works, \"Katya Kabanová\" was dedicated to her before his death, as was his String Quartet No. 2, \"The Secret Letter. Based on Aleksandr Ostrovsky's play \"The Storm,\" it is set in Kalinov, a small town on the Volga River in Russia in the mid-19th century. A wife (Kacherina) is bullied by her mother-in-law (Kavanicha) and has an affair with her unreliable husband (Tikhon). In the midst of a cramped life with no freedom in the countryside, she meets Boris, the nephew of a wealthy merchant in the town, Zikoi, and they are united, but she is tormented by guilt and eventually drowns herself in the Volga River. Janacek's music provides an excellent psychological portrayal of the characters. Katya's aria, in which she sings of her own changing feelings when she decides to commit adultery, is very impressive.Janacek's masterpiece is also a masterpiece of human psychology, with Janacek's keen insight and masterful writing, including the glorious music when she and Boris are united and the tense scene when Katya confesses her infidelity. Katya is sung by Corinne Winters, the soprano who played the leading role in Moneusico's \"Halka. She gives a masterful performance, expressing the ups and downs of her emotions. Finally, Evelyn Herlizius, a regular Bayreuth singer, sings the cold-hearted mother-in-law Kavanicha, who is only concerned about her son Tikhon, who is distraught at the sight of Katya's corpse. She sings with a powerful voice. Although there is no large-scale stage set, the stage is lined with many people (mannequins) facing backward, quietly and powerfully expressing the indifference of the people, the curiosity of the unrelated people, and the sense of stagnation in a country town, which is also common in our time.
