ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The plot of Iolanta tells the story of a blind girl. She is not aware of her blindness, but unexpected guests who accidentally find themselves in a palace hidden in the forest reveal to her a secret that her relatives hid from her. The apotheosis of the opera is the dispute between the main characters about light. The guest, Count Vaudémont, insists that it is possible to comprehend the world and the plans of the Almighty only with external vision, and the girl is convinced that internal vision is enough for this.
