4 - From the Dead House/Glagolitic Mass

Prisoners living in the harsh conditions of a Siberian prison and behind every name is a terrible fate. Despite the oppressive ending, the beginning of the score of From the Dead House is inscribed by Janáček: A spark of God in every creature! And this is the idea that connects his last opera with an equally unique work - a mass on an Old Slavonic text. The scenic form of the Glagolitic Mass as a sequel to From the Dead House gives both works a new testimony to the power of faith in man.
