"Misteria Paschalia" is a festival presenting music for the Holy Week and Easter, performed by masters of period playing. First held in 2004, the event takes place in Cracow from Holy Wednesday to Easter Sunday and includes concerts and Passion mystery plays. So far concerts have featured such significant vocal and instrumental works as Alessandro Scarlatti's, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's and Antonio Vivaldi's Stabat Mater, Antonio Caldara's La passione di Gesu Cristo Signor Nostro and Gian Francesco de Majo's oratory Gesu sotto il peso della croce. Plays on the themes of the Holy Week have been staged in Cracow's Main Market Square: Dialogue on Christ's Passion and Resurrection, a story of Christ's life from his arrival in Jerusalem to the Last Supper, dir. Adolf Weltschek (2004); Przez te ziemie przeszedl Pan / The Lord Has Crossed This Land, a show drawing from the medieval tradition of Christ's Passion and combining music and theatre, written by Leszek Aleksander Moczulski and set to music by Jan Kanty Pawluskiewicz (2005); and the culminating point of the 2006 Festival, Quem Quaeritis?, Mystery of the Way of the Cross, libretto by Roman Kolakowski, set to music by Hadrian Filip Tabecki. The 2004-2006 Festival concerts and shows were complemented by all Bach suites. Pieter Wispelwey played Six cello suites in 2004, Richard Egarr performed Six English suites in 2005, and Six French suites were delivered by the harpsichordist Pierre Hantai in 2006.
