King Roger: Opera by Karol Szymanowski in a concert version

イベント情報

On the 100th anniversary of Poland’s independence, we begin this exceptional festival edition with a treasure of the Polish cultural heritage: the opera King Roger, with a star‐studded cast.

Although this work is 100 years old, it was on everyone’s lips again in 2015, when it premiered on one of the most prestigious stages in the world – the Royal Opera House in London. The title role was performed by Mariusz Kwiecień, who will also sing at the Wratislavia Cantans festival. Kwiecień is one of the most renowned contemporary baritones, admired for the beauty of his voice, his vocal precision and his captivating acting technique. Kwiecień, who is also a soloist at the Metropolitan Opera, sees this work by Karol Szymanowski as especially relevant at the present time of political, social and cultural uncertainties.
