OPERA AS WE DO NOT KNOW IT OR MOZART WITH A COMMUNIST LIBRETTO

The organizer of the third year of Opera as we do not know it project arranged an unusual merge of Mozart and libretto from the time of communism- String orchestra Musica Iuvenalis thus sought to bring opera closer to young people.

This year Opera as we do not know it will host Mozart’s Theatre Director. ” Timeless libretto of this endearing comedy inspired us to place the plot into the times of communism of 1970s. The Slovak and Polish cast includes singers and actors of the State Theater in Košice and a Polish solo singer. Pavel Orski from Poland will direct the performance,” stated Igor Dohovič.

String orchestra Musica Iuvenalis was established in 1964. It is currently active at the Elementary Art School of Mária Hemerková on Hlavná ulica in Košice. Orchestra consists chiefly of secondary school and university students, or adults, who pursue amateur music career. Current orchestra art manager Igor Dohovič has been leading it since 1997. Multiple first prizes from the European youth music festival in Neerpelte in Belgium, shot Musica Iuvenalis to the top of its category in Europe.
