Katya Kabanova

READY FOR A PERFORMANCE YOU'LL REMEMBER FOREVER? IT'S YOURS WHEN MEGASTAR KARITA MATTILA PORTRAYS ONE OF THE GREAT TRAGIC HEROINES.

"Why can't we fly like birds do?" asks gentle Katya, who's trapped in a marriage with a weak and insensitive husband, plagued by a criticizing mother-in-law, and suffocated by the mores of a provincial Russian town. Then along comes a man who offers her tenderness and love…

Grasping for a ray of happiness, she takes it — and plunges toward her own destruction.

With its emotion-packed orchestral score and heartfelt melodies (inspired by Puccini's Madama Butterfly!), Katya Kabanova is a true work of art — intimate, poignant, and profoundly moving.
