A Word by the Stage Director
First Serbian opera, a work by a great composer and a great writer. History of our theatre. Facing a piece such as this makes us all reluctant to delve into the responsibility which deliberation about the piece brings. Starting from inspiration with story Sali Pič to finished libretto, Binički and Nušić conducted a dialogue on awakening of our national awareness, identity and mentality, out past under the Turkish occupation and the impact it had on the nation. Under the story of a love triangle one finds an archaeological treasure of our national history. Reading this piece today demands a concept which will make the story closer to modern audiences and show once again that Binički and Nušić are eternal. For centuries the family had no importance in a petty society.For centuries a human life was worthless in a society guided only by personal gain. Theatre has been fighting for centuries to awaken the consciousness of people through its art. At this moment, when we celebrate a centennial of our Opera, it is time to listen to our artists’ thoughts. It is the time to listen to Branislav Nušić who had a lot to say about us. It is the time to remember Stanislav Binički, who presented the nation with opera. Today, the opera speaks for all of us. Excerpts from Nušić’s plays, stories and texts (The Deceased, Suspicious Person, Sali Pič, Cultural Testimony) are used in the performance.

Реч редитеља
Прва српска опера, дело великог композитора и великог писца. Историја нашег позоришта. Пред таквим делом сви устукнемо због одговорности које промишљање о њему доноси. Од инспирације приповетком Сали Пич до готовог либрета, Бинички и Нушић имали су дијалог о буђењу наше националне свести, идентитету и менталитету, прошлости под Турцима и томе како је она на нас утицала. Испод приче о љубавном троуглу лежи археолошко благо историје нашег народа. Читање овог дела данас захтева концепт који ће приближити причу савременој публици и доказати још једном колико су Бинички и Нушић вечни. Вековима је породица безначајна у малограђанском друштву. Вековима је људски живот безвредан у друштву у којем се гледају само лични интереси. Позориште се већ вековима бори да пробуди свест народа кроз уметност. У овом тренутку обележавања стогодишњице опере, једног читавог века, време је да чујемо мисли наших уметника. Време је да послушамо једног Бранислава Нушића који нам је много рекао о нама самима. Време је да се сетимо једног Станислава Биничког који је народу подарио оперу. Данас та опера говори у име свих нас. У представи су коришћени делови из Нушићевих драма, приповедака и текстова (Покојник, Сумњиво лице, Сали Пич, Културни тестамент).
