“The axis is the conflict between the world of the ruthless and unscrupulous Nero and the world of humanism, pure love and idealism, which is seemingly in a dead end.”
Sylvie Bodorová
A historical opera about the birth of Christianity. Libretto by Sylvie Bodorová and Martin Otava based on the novel of the same name by Henryk Sienkiewicz and the works of Tacitus, Suetonius and Petronius
Presented in the Czech original with Czech and German surtitles
