A witty and sensitive opera based on the novel by Vinko Möderndorfer.
Gaja Sorč leads the cast as Nika, an intelligent and defiant teenager whose family life is shaped by her special bond with her brother Igor, who has Down syndrome. The opera combines humour, social sensitivity and direct theatrical communication.
“The leading role of Nika calls for directness, humour and a precise balance between speech, acting and singing.”
