Eugen Suchoň's ballet Angelika is historically the first Slovak ballet in staged form, depicting the story of a musically gifted but poor and underestimated girl who is wrongly accused of theft. In the 2014/2015 season, the SND Ballet undertook the staging of the first Slovak ballet. Composer Eugen Suchoň (1908 - 1993), one of the founders of Slovak musical modernism, wrote the ballet pantomime Angelika for Slovakia as a seventeen-year-old pupil of the Music School. The work was found in the composer's estate along with other compositions from the so-called pre-Opus period. Mauro di Candia, who choreographed and directed the first staging of Suchoň's work, presents the staging concept of the ballet Angelika as an original, precise and pure ballet form within a contemporary choreographic language, combined with the musical elements of Suchoň's melodic score.
