Photos from the opera The Merchant of Venice written by Andrzej Czajkowski, directed by Keith Wagner. Premiere: 16th September 2016, Welsh National Opera, Cardiff, Wales.
Awarded with an International Opera Award, The Merchant of Venice is a co-production by Bregenzer Festspiele, the Grand Theatre and National Opera in Warsaw, and the Adam Mickiewicz Intitute, which together with the Welsh National Opera has organised a British tour.
Despite being written over a quarter of a century ago by the distinguished Polish composer and pianist, the first performance of the opera actually took place on July 2013 at Lake Constance in the Alps. One year later, the production travelled to the Grand Theatre and National Opera in Warsaw, and the 2016/17 season will see it visit the major opera houses of Great Britain.
