Polish National Opera’s Grand Jubilee
Polish National Opera’s Grand Jubilee will be a musical journey through 200 years of history of its great home Teatr Wielki. The programme offers a carefully curated selection of pieces that reflects the richness and broad variety of the music that graced the Wielki’s stage over the years, including works by Chopin, Moniuszko, Verdi, Rossini, Bizet, Mozart, Penderecki and Kilar.
Hosted by Grażyna Torbicka and Jakub Józef Orliński, the Gala presents some of the singers whose careers started at the Polish National Opera and who are now in demand all around the globe, including: Aleksandra Kurzak, Andrzej Filończyk, Piotr Buszewski and Rafał Siwek. Conducted by Patrick Fournillier, the soloists will be accompanied by the Wielki’s Chorus and Orchestra as well as the Polish National Ballet.
