In September 2016, the premiere of the opera The Passenger ('Pasażerka') by Mieczysław Weinberg will take place at the Ekaterinburg State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre.
With preparations still in progress, the director of the theatre, Andrei Shyshkin, and the editor-in-chief of Muzykalnoe Obozrenie magazine, Andrei Ustinov, paid a visit to Zofia Posmysz. It was Posmysz, along with her 1959 radio play and subsequent novel about her experiences in Nazi concentration camps, who inspired the opera.
