Composer Leoš Janáček based the libretto of Jenůfa on a play by Gabriela Preissová. Set against the backdrop of a closed community, this heart-rending family drama is told with stark psychological realism. Jenůfa is abandoned in pregnancy by her child’s father and suffers the moral oppression of those around her. Her stepmother attempts to save her reputation by killing the baby to make Jenůfa an acceptable bride. When the deed is discovered, her stepmother is arrested and Jenůfa can finally marry a man who truly loves her.
