Válido

The choice of the title is linked to the anniversary of the 100th death of the Slovak poetic giant       
PO Hviezdoslav. In this work, members of the ensemble Opera and Drama SND meet in mutual cooperation. 

Jozef Grešák set to set the poetic text of the well-known Slovak ballad PO Hviezdoslav. This gem of classical Slovak poetry forms an ideal basis for musical-stage processing with a sufficient emphasis on the situation. The work can be performed in concert or on stage, with one, two or five singers. In the variant we have chosen, the characters can be combined and their parts adapted for acting and singing.

In terms of content, it is a story about the topic of mental and physical abuse, which ends tragically. The story, set in a rural setting, focuses on little Zuzanka, who is tormented by her stepmother. The little girl is constantly beaten and beaten. He finds no comfort in either his father or the little one, only in the cemetery at his mother's grave. When he returns home from there, he stops by a stream, accidentally falls into the water and drowns. In eternal connection with her mother, she finds the coveted room.
