Summary:

Aside from a handful of performances of Jenůfa, the works of Leoš Janáček were largely absent from the Met stage until the 1990s--when his Káťa Kabanová and The Makropulos Case had their long-awaited company premieres. In 2009, a fourth of the composer's masterpieces, From the House of the Dead, arrived at the Met, in an austere yet gripping staging by visionary director Patrice Chéreau. Based on a novel by Dostoevsky, the opera follows a group of inmates in a Siberian prison camp and is a true ensemble piece. This radio broadcast, recorded a month after the production's premiere, features a number of standout performances from the principal cast, which includes tenors Štefan Margita and Kurt Streit, baritone Peter Mattei, and bass-baritone Willard White. And on the podium, acclaimed conductor-composer Esa-Pekka Salonen leads one of the early-20th century's most electrifying scores.

Introduction

Přivednou dnes pána!

Jak tě nazývají?

Zvíře! Nedá se!

Neuvidí oko již tĕch krajů

Já mlada na hodech byla

Aljeja, podávej nitku

A

Milý, milý Aljeja

Alexandr Petrovič, bude prazdnik

Poslouchejte!

Přešel den, druhý, třetí

Dnes bude můj poslední den

Pantomima o pěkné mlynářce

Pěkně hráli, co?

Isak, prorok boží

Ó, bratři ta bolest, to nic!

Má dět'átka milá

Ty, pravil Filka

A já byl, bratříčku, až do do svatby zpit

S Filkou jste se opět spřátelili?

Petrovičí, já jsem tě urazil.
