Ostracised for marrying outside their communities, a young couple are plunged into poverty. The devoted wife wants to keep giving love a chance, but her adventurous husband begins to question the cost to his freedom. On the centenary of Poland’s regained independence, for which Paderewski worked so hard, his Manru opens the new season at the Polish National Opera. A story of love in the face of prejudice, this important work is a timely warning against xenophobia and intolerance.
