A tale of honour, love and sacrifice, Jenufa explores the stigma of pregnancy out of wedlock against the backdrop of a small community.
Loved by two half-brothers, Jenufa is secretly pregnant by one of them. Abandoned by the child’s father, she gives birth alone, only assisted by her stepmother. Unaware of the child, the second brother pledges to marry Jenufa, but, as their wedding looms, tragedy strikes.
Concerned for the family’s reputation, her stepmother commits an unspeakable act in the hope that dishonour is averted and Jenufa does not remain alone. But the devastating truth is revealed to all when a baby’s body is found in the river on the wedding day.
This revival of Jenůfa is Directed by David Alden. ENO’s Olivier Award-winning staging updates the setting to an isolated 20th-century industrial estate in the Eastern Bloc, giving the story a contemporary edge that makes it feel even more relevant for today’s audiences.
