On November 15, 2011 the world premiere of Elżbieta Sikora's opera ''Madame Curie'' was take place in Paris, performed to celebrate the International Year of Chemistry and the 100th anniversary of Maria Skłodowska-Curie being awarded the Nobel Prize. The opera also was being prepared by artists from the Baltic Opera (presented on November 25, 2011).

''The music - on the contrary: it is fascinating, and - as usual with Elżbieta Sikora - highly energetic. The sounds, like atoms scattered in an accelerator, colliding with each other, generating a cascade of new sounds flitting in all directions at once. Dissonances, the ghostly hue, the illuminated (spectral?) chords, whispers and screams, and subtly used electronics - so it looks at the micro level; from a distance one can see a well laid out, dynamic form. Sikora, the author of two operas, at any rate, has proven once again that she has a great feeling for the stage with, among other things, daring use of the choir, almost continually accompanying the heroine - as a commentator, and above all, as a participant in events, usually ruthless, like a horde in passion.'' [Anna Pęcherzewska-Hadrych, Ruch Muzyczny]
