Let's briefly recall the main plot of this ambiguous myth. The Titan Prometheus stole fire from the gods, one of the attributes of their power over the world, to make its benefits available to ordinary mortals and contribute to the development of humanity. Offended by this sacrilege, Zeus decided to take cruel revenge on both the brave man and humanity. He chained Prometheus to the rocks of the Caucasus and daily sent an Eagle to eat the condemned man's liver by day. At night, the liver would grow back, and Prometheus's suffering would begin anew. Simultaneously, the ruler of Olympus decided to test humanity. He ordered the creation of a woman named Pandora, whom the gods endowed with dazzling beauty and many talents, and Zeus gave her a mysterious Box as a dowry for her future husband. However, the gift was subject to a prohibition against opening it. The gullible Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus, married Pandora, who, yielding to her curiosity, opened the Box, releasing all the misfortunes that have befallen humanity ever since. Fortunately, Hope was also hidden within Pandora's Box, which remains there to this day as a solace for humanity.

Interest in the work of Mieczysław Weinberg - a fascinating composer who creates at the intersection of Polish, Jewish and Russian cultures - means that his works appear not only on CD recordings and in the repertoire of philharmonic halls, but also on theater stages. His operatic work is becoming better known ( The Passenger could be seen on our stage), and it is time to discover Weinberg's ballet - The Golden Key, intended for children .
