For the first time in its history, JEDL is preparing a "big canvas" in the sense of a large cast and technical difficulty.

Ibsen's drama as a musical. Contemporary opera. The combination of Jan Nebeský, who has devoted his entire career to Ibsen's oeuvre (he has directed eight Ibsen dramas so far) and Matouš Hejl, representing the youngest generation of composers, promises a gripping approach to the genre and a significant contribution to the options and forms of musical theatre in the twenty-first century. The opera's libretto was written based on Ibsen's play Ghosts by Lucie Trmíková, a scriptwriter and actress who so far has played six female roles in Ibsen's plays. The creative team includes Norwegian composer and interdisciplinary artist Tyne Surel Lange, who focuses on the creation of audio-visual works.
