Manru" is the only opera of Ignacy Jan Paderewski an accomplished pianist who spent 8 years creating this spectacle. This is a story of unhappy love, which also outlines the subject of social differences and lack of tolerance. One of the main characters, Ulana suffers from a mother's rejection, as well as the entire village, which is due to the lack of acceptance of her marriage to the Gypsy Manru. The most moving moment of the work is not the tragic finale of the third act, but during Act II, when we observe the main characters longing for Manru's freedom.
