Jenůfa

Pauline Tinsley is a force of nature as the Kostelnicka in this gripping performance of Jenůfa. Her interpretation is searing in its intensity, with the final scene rendered with heartbreaking clarity and emotional depth.

Lorna Haywood is ideally cast in the title role, her youthful, clear-toned soprano capturing Jenůfa's vulnerability and quiet strength. The chemistry between the two leads heightens the emotional stakes and gives the performance its dramatic core.

A Stunning Jenufa

I was at this actual performance and it was wonderful! Pauline Tinsley as always was fantastic and her performance of the Kostelnicka was the best I have ever seen! She was the DEFINITIVE Kostelnicka, Her first appearance was electrifying, when Steva and company were making merry in a drunken revelry, she strode in, leapt upon the table and stopped them all with her first words and a withering glance. In Act II after she had murdered Jenufa's baby she took on a petrified and terrorised motion brought to a climax when the window crashed open! The recording quality is superb almost like a recent one. Thank you so much Andy. For those of you who are not familiar with the voice of Pauline Tinsley, go and buy it. You will hear a revelation and want more of this great lady who is now 89 years of age and a personal friend.
