    My first opera by Nina Šenk, performed by the ensemble of Slovensko komorno glasbeno gledališče, presented at Cankarjev dom. Four protagonists, four voices, one moment of existence. A story not of love, but of longing. Quite a challenge, but I’m glad I got the chance. Light design by Klemen Kuhar.
