Karita Mattila’s huge performance of the Kostelnička lies at the centre of #ROHJenufa . Full of compassion, empathy and pathos with a wonderful silvery top. Each syllable conveys emotion. She’s just a nasty person trying to do good in the world. Magnificent.
Down the memory lane....Prague, 15.4.2016, concert version of Janáček's Jenůfa with the Maestro Jiří Bělohlávek (R.I.P.) and divine Karita Mattila (as Kostelnička for the first time). How I miss live concerts and performances....Karita Mattila
This rehearsal requires SUGAR

#Favouritediscs Mackerras’ Jenůfa is a monumental achievement. Söderström is heartbreaking in the title rôle but Eva Randová’s Kostelnicka is bitter and not a little frightening. It’s one of those opera@recordings that’s truly believable as a human drama.
The one and only Karita Mattila, aka the best Kostelnička in the world, bar none!
So grateful for the glorious and towering artistry of dearest Karita, and for technology connecting all of us who can’t be in London at the Royal Opera House in person for this run of Jenůfa!
Do you want to be overwhelmed? Do you want great music in your life? Listen to Jenůfa by Janáček. Listen to Karita Mattila as Kostelnicka Royal Opera House. Amen.
Stars hugging during ovation on opening night at Royal Opera House. Mesmerized by @AsmikGrigorian and her sober yet emotional Jenufa along with absolute queen Karita Mattila, who found such depth to her Kostelnicka both in her acting and vocally, proving why she’s a living legend
Here again (3rd time) #rohjenufa Royal Opera House - can't wait to see Karita Mattila's shattering, sublime Kostelnicka & @AsmikGrigorian's heartbreaking Jenufa once more light up the Covent Garden stage.
Seen today in Wien. This tweet is dedicated to La Diva Suprema Karita Mattila, the greatest Jenůfa and Kostelnicka of our time. Thanks Valerio Re for pointing out Hotel Post for the Janáček plaque.
