Kát’a Kabanová at La Monnaie, Brussel
Kát’a Kabanová
Driven by his love for Kamila Stösslová, Janáček enjoyed a particularly creative period at the end of his life
. Kát’a Kabanová is marked with the seal of this relationship: “It was vital that I feel enormous love for composing the opera
. While I was working, your image of me was confused with that of Kát’a Kabanová”.
Janáček’s libretto is inspired in the Russian play The Storm Ostrovsky: A young woman tries for a relationship to escape an environment and a stifling marriage. But, repelled by him and assailed by remorse, throws herself into the stream. Andrea Breth convenes in its staging the world inside a fragile Kát’a, where social pressure and psychological accompanied by a feeling of loss of the past. As for Leo Hussain, he returned to the Mint after successful debut in theGrand Macabre by Ligeti in 2009.
