Code L is a new opera, conceived by Slovenian authors who have been successfully creating in the international arena, in many different fields of art. The project was inspired by the book A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments by French philosopher Roland Barthes (1915–1980). It is one of the most original discussions of love, interpreting the love discourse in modern times as »extremely lonely«. Using a method of combining the selected emotional states with the archetypal love motifs from the literature, philosophy and everyday life, the newly created operatic piece follows Barthes’s principle, drifting away at the same time into the world of independent artistic creation. Thus code L unfolds the worlds of love by means of guiding and directing them in their eternal longing through different figures, by which they are represented. Since almost every opera encroaches upon the realm of love, our new music and theatre piece is dedicated in its very special way to the art of opera, reaching its coherence and beauty through intertwining of all artistic genres.
