In 1917, Leoš Janáček, 63, met the young mother Kamila Stösslová, 26, and fell madly in love with her, to the point of writing her more than 700 letters and making her the muse of the works he would compose in the eleven years he has left to live.
Ambivalent Fascination: Kamila doesn't like her. From the extraordinary vitality of the heroines of Diary of a Disappeared or The Cunning Little Fox to the harshness of Emilia in The Makropoulos Affair or to the suicide of the heroine of Katia Kabanova, Janáček's unhappy passion powerfully inspires his writing and his female characters. For the staging, the choice of the young Polish artist Barbara Wysocka, violinist, actress, creator of extraordinary images and environments, theater and opera director is the promise of a surprising discovery.
Two other women are at the helm: the young conductor Elena Schwarz, and the scenographer Barbara Hanicka.
