Is it possible to get opera out of the grant and rigid opera houses and create the „off-opera”? Last year in Warsaw a group of young artists and students made a try and staged all by themselves the opera of Benjamin Britten The Rape of Lucretia. Their example shows how hard is to create an independent opera and what are the consequences of an attempt to get this very conservative art form out of the institution. Can one be independent at all in the world of opera? Is the artistic freedom necessary to protect this music theatre from dying? These are the main issues on which author focuses in her article.
