Jenůfa (also known as Her Stepdaughter; Czech: Jejà pastorkyňa) is a 1904 three-act opera by Leoš Janá�ek, based on a play Jejà pastorkyňa by Gabriela Preissová (later novelized by the same author). It is considered to be the composer's first opera to embody his characteristic style and is well-known for its use of Moravian national musical tones and for its grim and controversial libretto. Janá�ek dedicated the opera to his daughter Olga, who died while he was composing it.The plot centers around a Big, Screwed-Up Family in a Moravian village. Jenůfa is in love with her irresponsible cousin Števa and is already expecting his child. However, her stepmother Kostelni�ka (the female sacristan and keeper of the church keys), who used to suffer Domestic Abuse at the hands of her husband and claims Števa is alarmingly similar to his uncle, insists on postponing the wedding until Števa can prove he can remain sober for a year.Meanwhile, Števa's stepbrother Laca is madly in love with Jenůfa and slashes her face in a jealous rage, after which Števa claims she has lost her beauty and cheerfulness and dumps her for good.Jenůfa reveals her pregnancy to her stepmother, who hides her in the house to avoid the shame and announces the girl has gone to work in Vienna. When the child is born, Kostelni�ka implores Števa to marry Jenůfa, but he refuses. Laca, who has been tormented with remorse and constantly inquired after Jenůfa's wellbeing, asks for her hand, but is shocked when he learns she has given birth to Števa's baby. On an impulse, Kostelni�ka tells him the baby has died and goes on to make it the truth, drowning the child near the mill. Jenufa is told the baby died of natural causes.Laca and Jenůfa's wedding is held in the early days of spring, when suddenly, right before the ceremony, the baby's body is discovered under melted ice. At first Jenůfa is accused of murder, until Kostelni�ka confesses the truth and begs for her stepdaughter's forgiveness. Jenůfa prays for her as she is led to prison. The girl is ready to release Laca from his promise, but he tells her he will always stand by her side. The opera contains examples of: | |
