Writing Goplana, Wladyslaw ZeIenski drew upon a national poet's masterpiece by design and took inspiration from a work so important for Polish culture, a story that by then was aImost archetypal in tradition, as inspiration.
Based on 'BalIadyna' by JuIiusz Slowacki, Goplana is a romantic opera in three acts, and this is its premiere recording. The production was awarded the lnternationaI Opera Award in the Rediscovered Work category.
ZeIenski noticed a weaIth of meanings in BaIIadyna, its multiple threads and interpretation prospects, so drew upon it and composed one of the most important PoIish operas.
Goplana ? Iike BaIladyna ? is a crueI fairy tale unfolding in the world of folk tales and Iegends, where human fate is freely intertwined with the actions of other beings. This is a story about murder and its consequences, a struggle for power and a struggle with one's own conscience.
Bringing Goplana to the stage after an absence of almost seventy years, the production restores an unjustIy forgotten opera to the coIlective awareness, an opera highIy appreciated by Zelenski's contemporaries and unquestionabIy beIonging among the best works of Polish music Iiterature.
This premiere recording reinstates it to its rightful place in the repertoire of the Polish NationaI Opera.
Leading creative personaIities from the worId of staging and music: Janusz Wisniewski (whose 'Mannequins' and 'Seven Deadly Sins' were received enthusiasticaIIy by Warsaw opera audiences, and whose 'Ubu Rex' won speciaI recognition from Krzysztof Penderecki), and Grzegorz Nowak, a maestro of internationaI fame, vaIued greatIy also for his interpretation of Polish music.
The soloists are the elite of PoIish singers and invite the Iistener/viewer to step into the circle of a dark Iegend that stirs the imagination and is a Iasting part of Poland's culturaI space. |
