All premieres in Gdynia are spectacular; the biggest Polish music theatre has spoiled us with big shows full of razzle-dazzle. This time they did the same to open the season, and what else can I say except: I love when it shines and boogies.…
What did our critic think of MALTA FESTIVAL at Poznań?…
I’ve been five days in Toruń and saw nine shows. After a while I figured that there is an invisible rope connecting all of them - if you followed it carefully enough, it led you from one theatrical venue to the next, weaving a thread you didn't quite see until the very end.…
It's no secret that I'm obsessed with this balet ensemble. Whatever they do, I would watch it day and night - but if you came even once to see them on stage, you'd know my obsession is entirely justified and, frankly, inevitable. This show only deepens that feeling. Hurrey!…
The show isn't long - and neither will this text be. But the truth is, it stays with you long after you've left the theatre. Longer than you'd expect from something so compact. Jan Kowalewski made this show an intensive pleasure full of surprises - like an espresso with caramel (is that even a thing…

Teatr Wielki - Opera Narodowa has prepared a ballet show that is unprecedented on an international level. No ballet company has ever decided to present three different choreographies of Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring in a single ballet evening. This unusual challenge has...
The Romantics loved monsters. And we also love monsters. We are just too ashamed to admit it. It’s all because monstrosity intrigues us. How is it to be a serial killer, Siamese sisters or a hunchback? Exploiting monstrosity Victor Hugo looked beyond where sight can enter. In...
This is Sergei Prokofiev’s ballet in the best ever version which has enjoyed enduring popularity at the famous Royal Ballet in London for many years. It is a show for entire families and ever new generations. Grown-ups drink in the beauty of English-style classical dance and the...
What a pity that John Barth has already used The Floating Opera title! It would have been perfect for Mariusz Treli?ski’s performance. Rain and draperies of real water whippping the flooded stage surface at Teatr Wielki - Polish National Opera, create not only a visual but also...
With this ballet, Krzysztof Pastor won the hearts of Polish audiences and critics. “With its theme of deathdefying love, Wagner’s intoxicating music and the largest stage in Europe – the premiere of Tristan at Warsaw’s Teatr Wielki was a grand occasion”, wrote Maggie Foyer in...
In the race between the Achilles of actualization and the turtle of the national opera tradition the latter may have a chance. The old fashioned machinery of Moniuszko’s work liberates unexpected musical energies and due to its difficult genesis the seemingly simple story of a...
Interesting how nightingales have fallen out of fashion… But not Stravinski’s nightingale, because that small opera inspired by Andersen‘s fable and Chinese tales is concerned with the problem the weight of which we see now: the driving out of live music by artificial one...
The left brain hemisphere is said to be ruled by logic, the right one by emotions and intuition. Pawe? Szyma?ski’s Qudsja Zaher speaks directly to our right hemispheres. This is the first Polish eschatological opera with an after-life plot. A concept worthy of Stockhausen’s The...
The Torture Garden as terrible as in Octave Mirbeau’s novel where fear, desire and ecstasy are expressed in trance-like singinging – such is Puccini’s last opera. Turandot has retained some perfidiousness of Venetian masks (since it has been brought to life by Gozzi’s pen in...
