Description

A revised edition of the piano/vocal score by Jiri Zahradka is presented in German, English, and Czech. Based on a play by Karel Capek, The Makropulos Affair tells of an ongoing century-long legal case and a mysterious woman who seems to have unnatural knowledge of the origins. But how can that be, in a woman so young? Janáček’s penultimate opera continues to enjoy worldwide popularity today and is considered among his strongest works.
