The libretto by Beniamin M. Bukowski is based on Grzegorz Piątek’s book The Best City in the World. Rebuilding Warsaw 1944–1949. The music was composed by Cezary Duchnowski, with stage direction by Barbara Wiśniewska. The opera is co-produced by Sinfonia Varsovia and the Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera under the patronage of the City of Warsaw. Its premiere will be one of the key events marking the 80th anniversary of the start of Warsaw’s post-war reconstruction.
