As early as 1773, the traveling scholar Charles Burney noted in his diary that "the Bohemians are the most musical of all nations." Our characteristically warm orchestral style is deeply rooted in this tradition, and we always enjoy celebrating it with exuberant joy. Our principal conductor has once again put together a captivating program from his homeland: It plunges us into the second act of Janáček's poignant national opera "Jenůfa," which premiered in Brno in 1904. The opera revolves around rural life and the prevailing moral codes and social constraints that place immense pressure on a young woman—ultimately leading to the death of her illegitimate child. This magnificent masterpiece is defined by folk music, dramatic moments, and an incredible intensity of emotion.
