A young woman is put under pressure by the strict morals of a village community when her lover, Teva, rejects her and withdraws his marriage proposal while Jenůfa is pregnant. After the baby is born, Jenůfa's stepmother, the sextoness of the village, is concerned for both the young woman's reputation and her own future. The sextoness believes that life would be better for them all without the child when Laca, a second marriage suitor, proposes to Jenůfa.

With its echoes of Moravian folk music, Leo Janáček's third opera earned the moniker Moravia's National Opera and became his first significant success. In addition, Janáek's music has a unique quality in that no one is judged even as it explores psychological extremes that can result in violence and infanticide and bares characters' emotions in an unbiased way. Even the conclusion of his opera, which attests to Janáček's humanist stance, involves a final act of forgiveness — a moral that, in light of the many horrifying revelations and admissions of guilt, seems almost impossible. Jenůfa (her Stepdaughter) has a special connection to the Staatsoper Unter den Linden because its success on the German stage was guaranteed when it made its Berlin premiere in 1924.

In Czech language with German and English surtitles.
