Writing GopIana, WIadysIaw ZeIenski 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 'BaIladyna' by Juliusz SIowacki, Goplana 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.
GopIana ? 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 aImost seventy years, the production restores an unjustIy forgotten opera to the coIlective awareness, an opera highIy appreciated by ZeIenski's contemporaries and unquestionabIy beIonging among the best works of Polish music literature.
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 enthusiastically 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 Polish music.
The soIoists are the eIite of Polish singers and invite the listener/viewer to step into the circIe of a dark legend that stirs the imagination and is a Iasting part of Poland's culturaI space. |
