JENUFA Comes To Greek National Opera This Fall

The Greek National Opera presents the opera JENUFA, running from Oct. 14 to Nov. 2, at Stavros Niarchos Hall.

JENUFA tells the grim story of an infanticide in the Moravian country during the 19th century: a stepmother kills the newborn baby of her stepdaughter thinking that this way she can help her be happy. It is a story of raw realism, served without sentimentality, in one of the first operas using unaltered literary prose.

JENUFA will be directed by German director Nicola Raab, one of the most important opera directors in Europe. She is internationally acclaimed for the special sensitivity of her readings and her insistence on the dreamlike visualization of the works she directs.
