Káťa Kabanová and The Cunning Little Vixen: Janáček's new lease of life
Jiří Zahrádka; Moravian Museum, Brno; Hardback
Káťa Kabanová and The Cunning Little Vixen are the first operas from the last decade of Janáček’s life. This book examines their creation within the context of the turbulent 1920s, tracing the composer’s sources of inspiration, his search for the ideal dramaturgy and compositional techniques, as well as the history of the staging of the two works, and their successes and failures in gaining acceptance on foreign stages.
