Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Glyndebourne’s back. What a joy, even on a stormy evening. And what a valiant attempt they made to give us a good time, despite the enforced empty seats, and the increasingly irksome social-distancing arrangements.
Katya Kabanova, arguably Leos Janacek’s most intense drama, celebrated its centenary in style.
The men were excellent, particularly David Butt Philip’s Boris, Katya’s lover, and even more so Nicky Spence’s drunken Tichon, Katya’s hopeless husband.

Sideways rain may not be ideal for al fresco dining but could hardly be bettered as a prelude to JanáÄekâs heartbreakingly dismal Kátâa Kabanová. It was a raw, bracing piece with which to reopen after a cancelled 2020 season. As Glyndebourneâs chairman, Gus Christie, reminded the 50%-capacity audience before curtain-up: âIt really is a minor miracle that weâve got here.â
To be clear: Kátâa Kabanová is not a feelgood opera. Yet if watching a work about a woman trapped in a miserable marriage, who falls in love and is driven to kill herself could ever be described as pleasurable, this opening night came close.
