The Soldier’s Tale by Stravinsky: Wratislavia‐Cantans Festival

About the Event

The Soldier’s Tale by Igor Stravinsky is unfailingly popular, because it combines music, theatre and dance in a genre of a fable, which can be understood by all. Because it is timeless, the work adapts to the time in which it is staged – the title soldier today can be a greedy businessman, unwise politician, naïve dreamer or any one of us who believes in advertising.

The 53rd International Festival Wratislavia Cantans invites you to an excellent performance of one of the most poignant works of the 20th century.

Greed, desire of fame, the illusion of an easy and carefree life – there are many temptations that captivate us. Regardless of whether we consider the concert as a warning or as just an evening of good entertainment, it is worthwhile familiarising ourselves with the remarkable works of Stravinsky and their unique, contemporary, and yet archaic‐like, interpretation.
