VESPER
This moving musical story is inspired by the life of a Polish woman, Krystyna Skarbek (aka Christine Granville), one of the most extraordinary figures of World War II. She was a heroine of Great Britain and France whose story was unknown to the wider world for many years. An emotional journey through the years of war and love, this production reflects morality, truth, and courage.
The extraordinary fate of one of the most prominent female spies told for the first time in musical theatre. Heroic struggle and difficult choices. Documentary precision and means of artistic expression: passionate and emotional music, dynamic choreography, multimedia effects, impressive scenery, and phenomenal costumes.
VESPER is not just a musical. It is a tribute to a great heroine and a story of great love, which even death does not end.
