After the triumphal première in the Meštrović Gallery at the opening of the Split Summer Festival last year, it was clear that Puccini's farewell opera would remain as part of the programme, and the remarkable acknowledgments and awards that followed only proved the impressiveness of this staging at the place where the monumental beauty of Meštrović Gallery, conflicting ethical principles causing the heads to constantly be on a platter as well as fearless search for the fullness of love have been intertwined.

Opera is sung in Italian, with Croatian and English subtitles.
