Renowned Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan takes the helm for this highly anticipated production of Jenůfa, while Montreal’s very own Nicole Paiement leads the Orchestre Métropolitain as conductor.

Jenůfa, a lovestruck young woman from a remote, conservative Czech village, is devastated when her lover proves unfaithful. As she carries his child, she finds herself on the brink of great shame and dishonour — that is, before Kostelnička intervenes. The village’s moral guardian, Kostelnička takes it upon herself to protect the family’s reputation.
