Eine unglücklich verheiratete Frau, die aus dem Gefängnis der Konventionen auszubrechen sucht und tragisch zugrunde geht, eine kaltherzige Schwiegermutter, der die Wahrung der Sitte wichtiger ist als Glück und Wohlergehen ihres Sohnes und seiner Frau, und der gelangweilte Neffe eines Kaufmanns – in diesem personellen Spannungsfeld spielt sich die Handlung von Janáčeks Oper ab, in atembeklemmender Enge.

»In diesem Stück ist viel Ergreifendes, slawisch Weiches, Gefühlstiefe!«, so äußerte sich der mährische Komponist, als er sich 1920 seinem sechsten Bühnenwerk, einer Oper nach Alexander Ostrowskis Schauspiel »Das Gewitter«, zuwandte. Auch diesmal hatte er mit großer Akribie und Sorgfalt den Tonfall studiert, in dem Menschen verschiedener Herkunft und sozialer Prägung sich äußern und miteinander kommunizieren – nicht nur das, was zur Sprache kommt, schien ihm wichtig, entscheidend war vor allem auch das Wie des Sprechens. In »Katja Kabanowa« bringt Janáček sein Verfahren der »Sprachmelodie« auf eine neue künstlerische Höhe. Die spezielle Atmosphäre der Figuren und ihres persönlichen wie gesellschaftlichen Umfeldes schwingen stets mit, in verdichteter und darum so eindringlicherer Form. Und am Ende singt sogar der breite Wolgastrom, und ein angstmachendes Gewitter entlädt sich mit aller Kraft. Die Natur wird zum Spiegel des menschlichen Seelenlebens.

Deutsch

An unhappily married woman who tries to break out of the prison of conventions and dies tragically, a cold-hearted mother-in-law for whom morality is more important than the happiness and well-being of her son and his wife, and the bored nephew of a merchant - in this personal tension is where the action of Janáček's opera takes place, in breath-taking confinement.

»There is much that is touching, Slavic softness, depth of feeling in this piece!«, was the expression of the Moravian composer when he turned to his sixth stage work in 1920, an opera based on Alexander Ostrovsky's play »The Thunderstorm«. This time, too, he had meticulously and carefully studied the intonation in which people of different origins and social backgrounds express themselves and communicate with one another - not only what is said seemed important to him, but also how the speech was spoken. In »Katja Kabanova«, Janáček takes his method of »speech melody« to a new artistic level. The special atmosphere of the characters and their personal and social environment always resonate, in a condensed and therefore more penetrating form. And in the end even the wide Volga stream sings, and a frightening thunderstorm unloads with all its might. Nature becomes the mirror of human soul life.

Katya Kabanova by Janáček, From (2017/2017), Directed by Andrea Breth,, Conductor Simon Rattle, Schiller Theater, Berlin, Germany
