Approved

Yemaya - Queen of the Seas is another work that will join the repertoire of the Wrocław Opera in October 2019, and is addressed to family audiences. This is a special item in our repertoire, which is designed to fulfill not only cultural and popularizing functions among children and families, but also build relationships based on mutual sensitivity to beauty and other people. Moreover, the premiere of the work is part of the policy of promoting the work of Polish composers, which is one of the main aspirations of the Wrocław Opera. The work of Zygmunt Krauze was specially commissioned by the Wrocław Opera.

As the author of the libretto, Małgorzata Sikorska - Miszczuk, writes: "Yemaya - Queen of the Seas, is a story about a father and son. The six-year-old hero of the story, Omar, loves his father and his father loves him. However, the father does not accept his son's delicacy and spirituality. He believes that such traits are not masculine in the cruel times we live in. Omar, who grows up without a mother, learns that his father is unacceptable for what he is. He learns to hide himself from the only person he has in his life. For Omar, the whole world has a soul. Omar looks after and talks to flowers on the balcony. They are his only friends. "
