The opera by composer David Mastikos (Banja Luka), based on the motifs of the text "Cherry with a Golden Stone" by Milorad Pavić, will be premiered in Mexico on June 26, 27 and 28. The premiere was in Banja Luka in 2023, causing huge interest from the local audience. In Mexico City, it will be performed in the Identidades Migrantes program and will feature a mix of opera and ballet.
It is interesting that the libretto is actually a digital chapter from the novel "Writing Box", which is not in the book itself, but can only be read on the Internet, on the official website of Milorad Pavić – www.khazars.com
The opera has never been performed in Serbia, although it competed for BEMUS.
