Katia Kabanova

Katia Kabanova is an opera in three acts composed by Leoš Janáček with a libretto by Vincenc Červinka, and is widely believed to be the first mature work of the composer, despite the fact that it premiered when Janáček was alreardy 67 years old. The opera is based on a play by Aleksandr Ostrovsky called 'The Storm' and is inspired by the love the composer felt for his 'muse', Kamila Stösslová. This is one of three operas in which she served as inspiration for the main character, works which reveal the realisation that the composers love for her is unrequired.
