El Greco

Komponist:  George Hatzinassios

Hauptakteure: Dariusz Mikulski (Music Director / Producer), Vassilis Anastasiou (Director), Elias Liamis (Libretto)

A new opera by the famous greek composer George Hatzinassios. The opera “El Greco” is suggesting a research through out the great painter’s life and the truth he meant to offer with his own art. From Crete to Italy and then to Spain, the great Greek painter seems to be -beside his challenging the visual arts – in the research of a constant theme, that could be his re-union with the spirit of Creation and God. This work, reminding the first Christian Churche’s ideals, becomes the meeting point of different religious art styles, while his use of color seems a bridge among the two great Christian traditions, of East and West.

Tosca

Komponist:  Giacomo Puccini

Hauptakteure: Dariusz Mikulski (Music Director / Producer), Anna Długołęcka (Director), Barbara Kubiak (Floria Tosca), Sylwester Kostecki (Maria Cavaradossi)

The Waldenburg Tosca production plays the dramaturgy in the Evangelical Church. Anna Długołęcka – the director uses the historical ambience of the church to present the dramaturgical background of the opera as precisely as possible. She also uses the energy and potential of younger generations and numerous extras to possibly bring the opera closer to the audience. In addition, the live cameras and screens ensure that everyone who came to see all the details of the action up close. The orchestra of the Filharmonia Sudecka under the direction of Dariusz Mikulski plays precisely and very dynamically. The main actors – Barbara Kubiak (Tosca) and Sylwester Kostecki (Cavaradossi) provided the highest dramaturgical and vocal level. All together made the production an unforgettable event.

The Haunted Manor

Komponist:  Stanisław Moniuszko

Hauptakteure: Dariusz Mikulski (Music Director / Producer), Natalia Puczniewska (Hanna), Magdalena Wilczyńska-Goś (Jadwiga), Karol Bochański (Stefan)

The Haunted Manor (Polish: Straszny dwór) is an opera in four acts composed by Polish composer Stanisław Moniuszko in 1861–1864. The libretto was written by Jan Chęciński. Despite being a romance and a comedy, it has strong Polish patriotic undertones, which made it both popular with the Polish public and unpopular – to the point of being banned – by the Russian authorities of Congress Poland. The story represents both an idyllic view of life in a Polish country manor house, and at the same time an idealistic preoccupation with the patriotic duties of the soldier, the military virtues of courage, bravery, and readiness to take up arms against any enemy of the nation, and the importance of family honor.

The story centers on Tevye, a milkman in the village of Anatevka, who attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon his family’s lives. He must cope with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters who wish to marry for love; their choices of husbands are successively less palatable for Tevye. An edict of the tsar eventually evicts the Jews from their village.
