Mrika
Mrika (Maria) is an opera in three acts composed by Prenkë Jakova with a libretto in Albanian by Llazar Siliqi. It premiered (in a four-act version) in Shkoder, Albania in 1958 at the Migjeni Theatre.[1] The revised three-act version (and the one used today) premiered in Tirana at the Academy of Music and Arts of Albania in December 1959.[2] The work is based on a "musical action" in two scenes, Dritë mbi Shqipëri (Light over Albania), a previous collaboration between Jakova and Siliqi which had premiered in Tirana in July 1952. Mrika is popularly considered to be the first Albanian opera.[3] Its first stage director was Kristaq Antoniu.[4]
