Concert “With the high C”
On Friday and Saturday, September 22 and 23 at 7:00 p.m., MikulskiART Foundation invites to the Aflopa Art gallery in Pabianice at ul. Żeromskiego 17, for unique concerts performed by participants of a vocal master course leaded by a world-famous singer, soloist of the Vienna Opera – Caroline Isabel Merz
The programs of both concerts – Friday and Saturday – will be different – you will hear soloists from Poland, Germany, Austria, Italy and Kosovo.
Among them, in addition to young vocal students, there are also stars of opera stages – soloists of the National Opera in Warsaw, Opera Nova in Bydgoszcz and the Baltic Opera.
There is no self-respecting opera theater that does not have works by W.A. Mozart in its repertoire. He will also be present during our concerts – you will hear the arias of Pamina and the Queen of the Night from the opera “The Magic Flute”, the aria of Dorabella from the opera “Cosi fan tutte” and the arias of Susanna from the opera “The Marriage of Figaro”.
The program will also include arias by G. F. Handel: “V’adoro pupille” from the opera Julius Caesar and “Lascia ch’io pianga” from the opera Rinaldo. The soloists will also present arias full of virtuosity, such as Adina’s aria from the opera L’elisir d’amore and Norina’s aria from the opera Don Pasquale by G. Donizetti. The songs from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera – Traviatta and La bohème by Giacomo Puccini – will be extremely moving.
Performers: Anna Cichocka, Julia Deinert, Arleta Gnoza, Kamila Goik, Aleksandra Gudzio, Martyna Grzelecka, Cecylia Jankowska, Zofia Piejdak, Monika Sendrowska, Marta Ustyniak-Babińska, Paulina Vereti.
