Intérprete: Marie McLaughlin

Corinne Winters is phenomenal as the self-possessed Jenůfa in The Royal Opera's revival of Claus Guth's powerful staging. 

Natalya Romaniw is a natural as our maligned heroine: Paul Curran creates staging of bewildering comic complexity and pulls it off with panache.

Daniel Kramer’s direction is a model of restraint compared to some of his earlier work for the company.
