	deseretnews.com \| Czech tragedy: Utah Opera presents the rarely produced 'Jenufa' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Jenufa is in love with Steva, with whom she has a child.
		Complicating matters is Jenufa's stepmother, Kostelnicka, who wants her to marry Steva, and even goes to the horrible extreme of drowning Jenufa's baby to aid her scheme.
		Finally, at the end, Jenufa realizes that Laca's love for her is genuine and that the tragedy and suffering the two have endured have brought them closer together.

	PlaybillArts: Features: Ties That Bind
		From the passionate and impulsive girl in Act I to the wise, reconciled woman in Act III, Jenufa's growth is charted in her relationship with Laca: from dislike to an awareness of his qualities and, finally, love.
		And from the beginning of the staggeringly taut second act, in which the two women are cooped up tightly in enforced domesticity, Jenufa is musically bathed in an aura of motherhood, which lends a calm glow to many of her utterances that contrasts with her stepmother's jaggedly pronounced wishes for the child to die.
		Jenufa and Laca visit her there and upon her release move with her to another town where nobody knows them -- finally escaping the accusing gazes of the village of which the older woman voices fear in Act II.

	Eye - Jenufa's vision triumphs - 01.30.03
		The Verdi opera is based on a nugget of fact: in 1792 King Gustav III was assassinated by a Captain Anckarstroem at a masked ball in the Stockholm opera house.
		She makes Kostelnicka's decision to murder Jenufa's baby one of the most harrowing scenes ever witnessed at the COC, giving us not an evil authoritarian, as the role is sometimes played, but a woman whose love for her stepdaughter makes her see mortal sin as the only means to secure Jenufa's future.
		Jenufa is one of the few operas to ask what happens after tragedy, to ask if the injured have the strength to forgive.

		But in the end, Jenufa and Laca find each other, Steva is disgraced in the eyes of the townspeople, and his fiancee, the mayor's daughter, rejects him for fathering an illegitimate child.
		Meanwhile, Kostelnicka, Jenufa's stepmother, confesses that she drowned Jenufa's baby in order to facilitate a marriage between Jenufa and Laca.
		Jenufa is a sweetly innocent country girl who loves blindly, but she becomes hardened and resigned by everything life has thrown at her, and Clayton convincingly brings all this to glorious life.

	United Press International - Life & Mind - New 'Jenufa' production staged by Met (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		His early work was German-influenced, especially affected by the music of Wagner, but with the composition of "Jenufa" in 1904 he developed a distinctly Czech style, making use of the melodic characteristics of Moravian folk music and inflections of native speech.
		A huge gray boulder protrudes from the middle of the cottage, apparently plopped there by Schlossmann to remind the audience of the terrible oppression suffered by Jenufa at the hands of her unsympathetic custodian and the straight-laced community at large.
		Singing the role of Jenufa is the superb and shiningly beautiful Scandinavian soprano Karita Mattila, who at 42 still looks young enough to be the Czech Cinderella who doesn't get her prince.

	Guardian \| Jenufa
		Mitchell fails to tell us whether she is tacking on a religiose ending in which Jenufa's murdered child forgives his tortured killer beyond the grave, or whether she is flashing forward to an imagined future, in which Kostelnicka, released from prison, has become a contented step-grandmother to Jenufa's child by Laca.
		At the end of Jenufa we know neither the result of Kostelnicka's trial, or whether Jenufa and Laca even have a future together.
		Susan Chilcott's Jenufa is a fragile, sensual creature, her voice soaring with passion and anguish, even as her body contorts with pain and exhaustion.

	NPR's At the Opera
		And yet until he reached retirement age, Janacek spent much of his life treating women poorly -- and nobody outside his inner circle even had a clue.
		Jenufa had been performed many times before but from that 1916 production it suddenly became hit.
		And, once you get caught up in that, you may forget all about what a jerk he was.

	Illicit Issue, Part 1
		When the curtain rises, Jenufa secretly knows she is three months pregnant by her cousin, Steva.
		When she learns about the pregnancy, she tells friends and relatives alike that Jenufa has gone to Vienna while actually confining her stepdaughter in her own home until after the birth of the baby.
		Because, just before his departure, Jenufa was slashed in the face by his jealous step-brother, Laca, Steva no longer wishes to marry her -- he doesn't think she's pretty any more.

		Jenufa grins triumphantly and nods, burying her own nose in her own klah and slurpingg.
		Jenufa flops down into one of the chair, splashing a bit of klah on herself in the process, which she proceeds to dab at madly with her napkin.
		Jenufa grins at Kyleri, yanking at her tunic, holding the wet spot up to the light to discern whether the stain is still there.

		This new recording of Janácek's Jenufa might not replace the gold standard performance led by Sir Charles Mackerras, but it is superb in many ways.
		His moments of reflection with Jenufa, as well as his performance in Act Three, are charming, and his more vitriolic jealous turns are stronger than previous more wimpish interpretations have had us believe.
		Eva Randova, as Grandma Buryja, the head of the family clan, has also deteriorated in her vocal condition, to the point she is barely able to articulate the notes in the phrases.

	Andrew Cooper: reviews of Opera North productions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The Act 1 action was framed by a hollow irregular polygon at the back, with the acting area raised above the stage to accommodate a real-water millstream below and at the front (in which Jenufa paddles and into which Laca throws her rosemary plant).
		In Act 2 the singers were more or less at stage level and in Act 3 the polygon became the boundary of the room so that the singers within it appeared to be below the level of the stage.
		The second act set was the least satisfactory; there was a gauze at the back through which one could sometimes see the bed with the baby and/or Jenufa in and sometimes not.

		No sooner is she out of the door than Jenufa, dreaming in a drugged slumber, cries out that a rock is falling on her.
		The greatest revelation of the Met's Jenufa premiere was the Janacek score itself.
		ever-present and, from Act II on at least, so was her love for Jenufa.

	Jenufa
		The pivotal metaphor is a huge rock formation that pokes up from the ground in Act One—the stone that Jenufa says weighs upon her life as an unwed mother-to-be—and later dominates the stage and the girl’s life.
		The stone reappears as fragments in Act Three—weapons the townsfolk use to threaten Jenufa until her stepmother, Kostelnicka, confesses to the crime.
		Best of all, Tambosi explores the characters’ actions with blistering intensity: One tiny moment of body language is enough to show the gulf between Jenufa’s suitors—the feckless Steva, who betrays her, and the flawed but devoted Laca, whom she learns to love—as they reluctantly shake hands just before Laca’s marriage to Jenufa.
