The project is planned for years from 2012 to 2016. Madame Curie the opera was a first spectacle of that enterprise.

All titles of the programme are specifically commissioned for it and will have its premieres in Baltic Opera.

 

"Recently a lot of publications about her came out where authors try to polish her statue and bring back to peoples' memory the human part of Marie Curie's life. We have decided to join these truth seekers and tell in our own, opera way about this extraordinary woman who conquered the world overcoming numerous obstacles such as human aversion, hostility and her own weaknesses. Her strong character and ingenious mind grew in a delicate body, brought to a test by passions, desire and temptation, that were a  far cry from the puritan image of a workaholic straight from laboratory. A beautiful, dramatic character – a human through and through. That is how we would like to present her and how we want to love her".
