Hardly any other opera offers so many interesting, diverse and mysterious meanings to its production team and viewers alike.

The story of Bizet´s ´Carmen´ is that of the Spanish guardsman Don José and the Andalusian gypsy girl of the title, a story first committed to paper by the French writer Prosper Mérimée.

´Nabucco´ (1842), which in a previous production at the Slovak National theatre notched up a record 420 performances over three decades, returns to the venue in a new, updated, guise.

Modest Mussorgsky´s Boris Godunov is one of the highlights of the Romantic operatic oeuvre. Below the name of the opera, inspired by the eponymous drama by Alexander Pushkin, the composer wrote “national music drama”.

Madama Butterfly – the story coloured with exoticism and in which, as in every genially written opera masterpiece, hero’s individual feelings overrun time and geographical borders and speak with clear speech into viewer’s heart and brain also in 21st century.

Resumption of pre-Verdi Italian belcanto, mainly minority opera titles by Gioacchino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini a Gaetano Donizetti, belongs to modern dramaturgic trends of European musical theatre.

Giacomo Puccini´s last work takes a very special place among Puccini´s operas and in the entire operatic oeuvre.
