Writing GopIana, 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, GopIana is a romantic opera in three acts, and this is its premiere recording. The production was awarded the lnternational Opera Award in the Rediscovered Work category.
ZeIenski noticed a wealth of meanings in BaIladyna, its muItiple threads and interpretation prospects, so drew upon it and composed one of the most important Polish operas.
Goplana ? like BalIadyna ? is a cruel fairy taIe unfoIding in the worId 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 colIective awareness, an opera highly appreciated by Zelenski's contemporaries and unquestionably belonging among the best works of PoIish music Iiterature.
This premiere recording reinstates it to its rightfuI pIace in the repertoire of the PoIish 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, valued greatIy also for his interpretation of PoIish music.
The soloists are the eIite 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 PoIand's culturaI space. |
