agrippina indicates the beginning of our co-operations. it was the first completely staged opera in the theatre of the kulturni centar kotor at all. with our crew, hell-bent on making opera here and now, we staged the whole production in just three weeks. the unforgettable input of our small stage-crew, as well as the gorgeous piano-playing of ana mihajlević mark a milestone in the co-operation’s early days.

in the last hours, at the end of three exhausting weeks, we decided to adventure l’incoronazione di poppea, the sequel of the agrippina plot, next summer, with entire orchestra – no doubt a cliffhanger
