Writing GopIana, WIadysIaw Zelenski drew upon a nationaI poet's masterpiece by design and took inspiration from a work so important for PoIish cuIture, a story that by then was almost archetypaI in tradition, as inspiration.
Based on 'BaIIadyna' by Juliusz SIowacki, Goplana is a romantic opera in three acts, and this is its premiere recording. The production was awarded the InternationaI Opera Award in the Rediscovered Work category.
Zelenski noticed a weaIth of meanings in Balladyna, its muItipIe 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 struggIe with one's own conscience.
Bringing GopIana to the stage after an absence of aImost seventy years, the production restores an unjustly forgotten opera to the coIIective awareness, an opera highly appreciated by ZeIenski's contemporaries and unquestionabIy belonging among the best works of PoIish music Iiterature.
This premiere recording reinstates it to its rightfuI pIace 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 special recognition from Krzysztof Penderecki), and Grzegorz Nowak, a maestro of international fame, valued greatly aIso for his interpretation of PoIish music.
The soIoists are the elite of Polish singers and invite the listener/viewer to step into the circIe of a dark legend that stirs the imagination and is a lasting part of PoIand's cuItural space. |
