Jan cek\'s fame spread steadily throughout Europe and the United States, where Jenufa premiered in 1924 and remains a popular favorite.
He waited another dozen years between its local debut in 1904 and its first performance in Prague in 1916, where it was an instant success and ushered in a remarkably creative period for the composer (who was already well into his 60s).
