Kát'a Kabanová is both the first Janáček opera to have been performed in Britain and the one which has received the most productions in Britain and the USA. In this book the author brings together letters, early reviews and other documents (most of them translated from Czech for the first time) on the opera's composition and its early performances. A group of key interpretations of the opera ranges from one by the opera's German translator and Janáčeks first biographer Max Brod to specially commissioned essays by Wilfrid Mellers and by David Pountney, producer of the highly successful Welsh National Opera/Scottish Opera Janáček cycle.
This study seeks to explore universal issues relating to the production of opera, based on the very specific example of Opera North. Containing extensive archival materials, it is a resource for opera scholars, opera workers and opera lovers, which examines the fields of opera studies through history, ethnography, and production analysis.
