To escape the horrors of the battlefield, Henryk has a dream in which he imagines that his childhood home has been turned into an inn. His father is the innkeeper and his fiancĂ©e, Mania, is a serving maid. As innkeeper, his father is given a hard time by all the drunkards and, to defend his dignity, he claims that he is untouchable, âlike a kingâ. But will a âroyal weddingâ between the prince Henryk and Mania manage to restore the familyâs honour? The Marriage (Ćlub) is an opera adaptation of the eponymous play by Witold Gombrowicz, one of Polandâs leading dramatists of the 20th century. PoznaĆ Opera House has commissioned this operatic adaptation from Zygmunt Krauze, for his part, one of the leading composers active in Poland today.
