Životi i smrti Isabelle eberhardt by Mazzoli, Tue 29 Nov 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Livija Pandur, Conductor Matija Fortuna, HNK, Varaždin, Croatia

Mazzoli's opera is based on the biography of Isabella Eberhardt (1877-1904), an intriguing figure who relentlessly challenged the expectations of her time during her short life. Isabelle Eberhardt was a researcher and writer who left a comfortable aristocratic life for a nomadic life in North Africa. She was a liberated individual who rejected conventional European morality and was critical of the world of strictly emphasized gender roles. Setting up an opera about a protagonist who is a model of the fight for women's position is especially important in a time when acquired women's rights are increasingly being called into question and new forms of intimate and social repression are being established.
