PETRIFIED is born from the experience of national tragedy. Written six years after the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia, this work is based on the poems of the 19th Century poet Janko Král, whose celebration of Slovakia´s national identity asquired new significance in the dark days of 1974.
The opera is peopled with „ spies, informers, bullies, jokers and layabouts",
who watch over the fate of the young lovers, Janko and Hanka.Their failure to have faith in each other leads to Janko´s exile, and Hanka´s marriage to an Old Windower. Janko returns as a man of Blood and Iron. The result is assassination, suicide by drowing, and Janko is turned to stone.
