Carlo Rizzi

Background: Janácek wrote that Katya Kabanova, his sixth opera, was 'one of my most tender works', and his score contrasts extreme beauty with fateful oppression to wonderful emotional and passionate effect. Katya was partly inspired by Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, but perhaps more significantly by the young Kamila Stösslová with whom Janácek had become infatuated. He seemed to model his portrait of Katya on Kamila and in fact dedicated the opera to her.
