Now largely forgotten, Ludwik Grossman was an important 19th century composer and a man actively involved in the musical life of his community. One can see interesting analogies between Grossman’s biography and that of Stanisław Moniuszko. Similarly to his older colleague, Grossman pilgrimaged to Warsaw to study and was taught by August Freyer, to continue his education in Berlin. Both composers took an interest in serious as well as comic opera: the text of Grossman’s first work for the stage, Rybak z Palermo (A Fisherman from Palermo) was written by Jan Chęciński, the librettist of Moniuszko’s The Haunted Manor.

The growing interest in the work of Mieczysław Weinberg – a fascinating composer working at the intersection of Polish, Jewish, and Russian cultures – has led to his works appearing not only on CDs and in philharmonic repertoires, but also on the stage. His operas are becoming increasingly well-known (" The Passenger" was performed on our stage), and it's time to discover Weinberg's ballet, " The Golden Key ," intended for children .

Pinocchio

Robert Bondara's production will be a modern tale of the future, steeped in the aesthetics of neo-noir cinema. It will also be a journey through the world of archetypes, as it draws on centuries-old fantasy, exemplified by the idea of ​​the golem and the figure of Frankenstein, the creation of artificial life. This ballet also offers an opportunity to reflect on highly topical themes: what does it mean to be human in the age of artificial intelligence? What is the boundary between the natural and the artificial, the human and the inhuman?
