The Cunning Little Vixen
The operas of his mature period, "Jenůfa" (1904), "Káťa Kabanová" (1921), "The Cunning Little Vixen" (1924), "The Makropulos Affair" (1926) and "From the House of the Dead" (after a novel by Dostoyevsky and premièred posthumously in 1930) are considered his finest works. The Australian conductor Sir Charles Mackerras became very closely associated with Janáček's operas.
