About this event

The production presents Marjan Kozina's opera as a drama built around psychological tension and an evocative musical atmosphere. Kozina wrote both the music and libretto, drawing on Ivo Vojnović's play; Borut Smrekar provided the Slovenian translation of the libretto. Janusz Kica's staging places questions of power, guilt, and justice at the center. The production follows individuals whose destinies are shaped by social pressure and unavoidable choices, with tension accumulating in a near-cinematic musical arc toward a powerful climax.
