The Cleveland Orchestra A harrowing tale of forbidden love, desperation, and reconciliation, Jenfa is a strikingly original opera with an intense drama at its core. When Jenfa gives birth to a child out of wedlock in a claustrophobic village community, her stepmother secretly kills her baby to protect Jenfa’s honor and future. In the end, Jenfa is reconciled with the terrible events of her life through the power of forgiveness. Starring acclaimed sopranos Latonia Moore and Nina Stemme, Jenfa is a story of a nuclear family that, while psychologically disturbing, is musically a profound expression of the human condition.
