The Metropolitan Opera is set to present a new production of Janáček’s “Jenůfa.”

The production, which opens on Nov. 16 and runs through Dec. 4, will be directed by Claus Guth, which OperaWire called “A Taut and Intensive New Production.”

Soprano Asmik Grigorian will sing the title role after triumphing in the role at the Royal Opera House. She will sing alongside Nina Stemme as the Kostelnička, tenor Sean Panikkar in his role debut as Laca, mezzo-soprano Elena Zaremba as Grandmother Buryja and tenor Ryan Capozzo as Laca.

Tomáš Hanus makes his company debut conducting.

The Met’s production will use Janáček’s original orchestration, the version now heard in most contemporary productions despite being made obsolete by a later revision for nearly 70 years following its premiere. It will also be sung in its original Czech, making it a fitting debut for Hanus, one of the Czech Republic’s leading conductors and a champion of Czech music who studied at the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts.

The opera was first staged at the Met in German for one season in 1924–25. After an absence of nearly 50 years, Jenůfa returned in 1974, sung in English. In 2003, the previous staging by Olivier Tambosi was the first Met production performed in the original Czech.

“Jenůfa” will be broadcast on Nov. 16 on the SiriusXM app. A recording of a fall performance will also be rebroadcast on The Robert K. Johnson Foundation–Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network and the SiriusXM app on May 15.
