A Comic Opera. An enduring anti-fascist allegory, a haunting parable of the triumph of innocence over evil. Its most famous performances were given in the Terezin concentration camp, before Krasa was deported and murdered at Auschwitz in 1944. Krasa’s work, branded ‘degenerate’ by the Nazis, has been rediscovered and celebrated in recent years.

In Summer 2019, Welsh National Opera addresses the issues of justice, freedom and human rights through a season of operas, debates, discussions, exhibitions and digital projects. At the heart of their FREEDOM Season are four semi-staged operas across three evenings in the Donald Gordon Theatre and one fully-staged opera in the Weston Studio.
