Rozśpiewawa Choir: a jubilee concert

The choir is a grass-root project formed by the participants of the 2018 vocal workshops for amateur singers over 25 years of age organised by the Polish National Opera's educational department and led by Anna Bednarska, the head and chorus master of the Alla Polacca Children Choir. The ensemble has given Christmas concerts, performed at Prom Kultury Saska Kępa and sang at the 2019 Long Night of Museums.

Piotr Beczała can be likened to a Bugatti Chiron among supercars – the only one, unique, worth every penny. He seems to have performed everywhere that is worth aspiring to, with everyone who is worth working with, and he has sung – naturally – every role worthy of his talent. This time he will perform with the chorus of the Polish National Opera chorus. We can expect works from his latest albums. We do not vouch for Moniuszko, but Wager’s Lohengrin – certainly. And of courseVincerò. The title turned out prophetic, by the way: it brought our tenor the Erwin Piscator Award 2020 (for his work on Moniuszko’s and Karłowicz’s pieces), and that is in spite of the coronavirus pandemic. The award ceremony will take place in the late autumn. Soon after the honour is bestowed upon him in New York, a great concert awaits us in Warsaw. The insiders promise ‘verismo and late Wagner’. To facilitate reception, choreography is to be kept to a minimum.
