Live Global Stream for Major New Production by Polish National Opera
On 3rd November 2016 at 6:50pm CET, the Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera will live stream its new production of Goplana via vod.teatrwielki.pl and theoperaplatform.eu.
Goplana is a deeply Polish opera: composed by Władysław Żeleński, the father of renowned Polish stage writer, poet, critic and translator Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński, to a libretto based on Balladyna by Poland's great Romantic poet Juliusz Słowacki. The creative team put together by the Wielki is led by internationally-recognised Polish artists: conductor Grzegorz Nowak and stage director, set and costume designer Janusz Wiśniewski. Mr Nowak is the Permanent Associate Conductor of London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and one of the best in his craft in Poland. Considered a successor to Tadeusz Kantor, Janusz Wiśniewski made his name with avant-garde productions that strongly influenced Polish theatre in the 1980s.
Apart from audience gathered in the auditorium of the largest theatre in Europe, Goplana will be simultaneously made available to Internet users around the world. Goplana is the second opera to be streamed on vod.teatrwielki.pl and theoperaplatform.eu.
The first, Moniuszko's The Haunted Manor has been watched online over 170 thousand times. To show the work to a crowd of this size, the Wielki would have to hold 100 performances of the opera, which under normal circumstances would take a few years. The viewership of The Haunted Manor is similar to that of The Twilight of the Gods from the Wiener Staatsoper and surpasses the stream of La Bohème from Den Norske Opera by more than 20 thousand.
A chance to notch up another streaming success comes on 3rd November 2016, when a select cast of Polish singers led by Małgorzata Walewska, Wioletta Chodowicz, Edyta Piasecka, Katarzyna Trylnik, Arnold Rutkowski and Rafał Bartmiński will take the stage in Warsaw. The transmission, presented by Kinga Rusin, can also be watched from 6:50pm CET on both vod.teatrwielki.pl or theoperaplatform.eu.
