Summary/Abstract: Reviewing the premier of the opera Lost Highway, directed by Natalia Korczakowska, the author points out Olga Neuwirth's music, which, when performed by the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic Orchestra adds a new quality to the plot known from David Lynch's film. According to Lemanska, the musical score organises the vocal and physical actions of the performance, which is a particular challenge for the dramatic actors featured in the performance. The author characterises the existential and psychological aspects of the functioning of the characters, finding similarities and differences between the opera performance and Lynch's film. An analysis of visual means of expression allows Lemańska to see the project within the context of the program of the New Horizons festival, one of whose aims is to cross the boundaries between cinema and other arts.
