PRIMA DONNA
“Prima Donna” – an extraordinary monoopera where theatre and opera merge into an intimate story about the inner voice, choices, and emotional courage of a human being. Seeking to go beyond the boundaries of a simple musical performance and reach a deeper level of audience perception, the show begins not on stage – it begins in the dressing room, where the soloist faces not the gaze of the audience, but herself.
Unlike a traditional concert, here the audience becomes a silent wall – allowing them to hear what is born in the heart and turns into music through voice. This dialogue between the soloist and silence is an invitation to a deeper, more authentic encounter with oneself.
The plot does not follow a clearly defined action but moves through seven different characters – operatic heroines whose voices shape the soloist’s inner dialogue.
- Giuditta – the voice of courage and passion, asking: “Would you dare to choose passion when no one applauds?”
- Esmeralda – the spirit of freedom, inviting you to move and not be afraid to be yourself.
- Lauretta teaches how to say “I want” without guilt or limitations.
- Musetta – a playful image questioning: to be seen, but not performed.
- Cleopatra – the voice of will and self-worth, saying: “Don’t prove. Just be.”
- Marguerite questions how much guilt limits us and how to let it go.
- Undine, the deepest of all, invites you to dive into yourself – even if the water is cold.
The performance draws on musical works from Baroque to Romanticism and 20th-century classics – from Handel and Lehár to Puccini and Dvořák – yet their harmony here is not only aesthetic but philosophical: each melody marks one step into the soloist’s inner world. Music becomes not just a sound experience but a space for inner transformation.
Through monologues, songs, and moments of silence, the soloist journeys from feeling to understanding: What remains when you wipe off the makeup? What speaks when the role disappears? Is the voice we use truly ours, or dictated by someone else?
“Prima Donna” is not just a performance, music, or a display of vocal virtuosity. First and foremost, it is an intimate meeting with oneself – an invitation to hear what is often drowned out by noise, roles, and the voices of everyday life.
