All of that attracts large crowds of new listeners to the concert halls in a spectacular fashion. Every year, thousands of people gather in Teatr Wielki - The Polish Opera on the last weekend of September to listen to concerts of their choice from dozens of available events.The festival has gained the reputation of the biggest classical music feast in Poland. Many regular and occasional concertgoers spend the whole year waiting for it.
