Leos Janacek Kat'a Kabanova

Kft'a Kabanovf is both the first Janfcek opera to have been performed in Britain and the one which has received the most productions in Britain and the USA. In this book John Tyrrell brings together letters, early reviews and other documents (most of them translated from Czech for the first time) on the opera's composition and its early performances. A group of key interpretations of the opera ranges from one by the opera's German translator and Janfcek's first biographer Max Brod to specially commissioned essays by Wilfrid Mellers and by David Pountney, producer of the highly successful Welsh National Opera/Scottish Opera Janfcek cycle.Tyrrell, John is the author of 'Leos Janacek Kat'a Kabanova' with ISBN 9780521298537 and ISBN 0521298539.
