"Legendary British poet, two sisters and romantic Venice..."
British poet Lord Byron is at the very center of this universal story unfolding in the romantic and sensual 19th-century Venice, mirroring Europe with heroes coming from different nations, embraced by noble music, a masterly direction and lavish orchestration.
The action of this thrilling story takes place in Venice in 1820. The focus of attention is on Lord Byron and his relation with two sisters, Marie and Brigitte, who are in love with the same man.
Few likeable heroes, tangled up in unexpected love and life traps, parade through this story full of unexpected twists. In a time unsympathetic to emotions, our heroes will experience the strongest love.
The musical Byron, created through an excellent collaboration of the writer Miro Gavran and composer Darko Domitrović. Miro Gavran wrote very intriguing text and Darko Domitrović powerful and impactful music.
"Along with a very engaging score, there's the natural stage-worthiness of the story. A show about Byron! What could be more naturally theatrical? More of an audience-grabber? The way Mr. Domitrovic and his collaborators designed the story-line for the show is sure-fire. Many of the melodies are immediately memorable; all are designed well for their place in the plot.
I have no doubt it will be a hit."
