Glagolská Mše / Z Mrtvého Domu: Glagolitic Mass Janáček (+1 More)

Osobité spojení opery Z mrtvého domu a scénické podoby Glagolské mše otevřelo 8. ročník festivalu Janáček Brno! Při vzniku této inscenace se sešli dva vynika...

Jako červená nit se všemi skladbami Leoše Janáčka táhne jednotící linka – hluboké lidství a originální forma. Právě toto se dá vztáhnout snad nejvíce na jeho dvě poslední velká díla – operu Z mrtvého domu a Glagolskou mši. Zkratkovitou sondu do duší vězňů a osobité vyjádření víry ve mši na staroslověnský text. V rámci festivalu Janáček Brno 2022 vzniklo jedinečné spojení obou děl, kdy scénická podoba Glagolské mše jako pokračování opery Z mrtvého domu dává oběma dílům novou výpověď o síle víry v člověka.

Vězni žijící v krutých podmínkách sibiřské věznice a za každým jménem se skrývá strastiplný lidský osud, neštěstí, zlo i jiskra naděje. Kousek po kousku, v malých útržcích vypráví jejich příběhy Leoš Janáček ve svém posledním a jedinečném díle. Janáček je geniální tvůrce mistrně zacházející se zkratkou, jenž na malé ploše dokáže zachytit lidskou podstatu. I přes tíživý konec stojí na počátku partitury Z mrtvého domu vepsáno: V každém tvoru jiskra boží! A to je myšlenka spojující jeho poslední operu s dílem stejně unikátním Glagolskou mší. Jak sám Janáček řekl: Chtěl jsem zde zachytit víru v jistotu národa na podkladě ne náboženském, ale na tom mravním, silném, který si bere Boha za svědka.

čeština

A unifying line runs through all Leoš Janáček’s compositions like a red thread – deep humanity and original form. This is perhaps the most applicable to his two last great works – the opera From the Dead House, an abbreviated probe into the souls of prisoners, and the Glagolitic Mass, a special expression of faith in a mass based on an Old Slavonic text. As part of the Janáček Brno 2022 festival, a unique combination of the two works was created, where the scenic form of the Glagolitic Mass as a continuation of the opera From the Dead House gives both works a new statement about the power of faith in man.

Exhausted and worn down – I am waiting to see if some star from the distant horizon will not fall into my mind, with a bell-like clang. Leoš Janáček turned to Russian literature for inspiration once again in the case of his ninth and last opera work. As in the case of Čapek´s play The Makropulos Case, at first glance Dostoevsky´s Notes from a Dead House seems in no way suitable as a theme for an opera. The writer himself spent time in a Siberian prison in the company of murderers, robbers and people who were simply led astray by an unfortunate turn of events, and drew from his experiences there when creating this literary work. It is a grim sequence of stories about everyday prison life and the fates of individual convicts, with psychological analysis and philosophical thoughts, but almost without dialogue, and with neither a central hero nor any female characters. Despite all the horrors described, Dostoevsky wrote to his brother: Believe me, there were among them deep, strong, beautiful natures, and it often gave me great joy to find gold under a rough exterior. Janáček also saw something deeper and more human in the individual characters of the book. In 1927 he mentions to Max Brod: I found a good human soul also in Baklushin, Petrov and Isai Fomich. Although he adapted the libretto from a Czech translation in the case of Katya Kabanova, this time he worked directly with Dostoyevsky’s Russian original, and his copy is full of notes and underlined parts of the text. The libretto has never been found, except for a brief draft, and it is believed that Janáček wrote it directly into the score. And this wasn´t an easy and joyful task, as can be sensed from his letters to Kamila Stösslová: It seems to me that I am walking down steps, lower and lower, down to the bottom where humanity´s poorest people dwell. And it is a hard walk. ¨

However, Janáček didn´t have time to finish the work. He took the score of Act 3 to Hukvaldy in the summer, but caught pneumonia and died on 12th August 1928 in a sanatorium in Ostrava. His pioneering work remained unfinished. Before the opera was staged at the Brno theatre, Janáček´s pupils, the conductors Břetislav Bakala and Osvald Chlubna, took charge of the completion of the instrumentation and small adaptations of the singing parts. A change was also made to the gloomy conclusion of the opera, when after Gorianchikov’s departure the guards chase the prisoners back and life in the house of the dead continues relentlessly. In later years, producers began returning to the ending originally intended by Janáček. For the first time in the Czech Republic, the festival production will present a new critical edition by Prof. John Tyrrell which reconstructs the work as closely as possible to the form Janáček intended but never had the opportunity to finish.

Despite the oppressive end, at the beginning of the score of The House of the Dead Janáček wrote: In every creature a spark of God! And this is the idea connecting his last opera with an equally unique work – a mass with a text in Old Slavonic. The origin of the Glagolitic Mass is partly intertwined with Janáček’s work on his last opera, and it is a captivating confession. As Janáček himself said: I wanted to capture here faith in the security of the nation not on a religious basis, but on a moral, strong one, which takes God as a witness. The theatre version of the Glagolitic Mass as a continuation of the opera imbues both works with a new testimony about the power of faith in man.
