A recital by Piotr Beczała will take place on October 28, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. at the Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera.The hottest name among lyrical tenors in the world. In 2018 he was awarded an operatic Oscar – the International Opera Award for the best male singer. For years he has been performing the most important tenor parts at the Metropolitan Opera and the Wiener Staatsoper. Yet another, after Jan Kiepura, ‘boy from Silesia’ who easily wins over subsequent operatic stages of the world with his singing and acting. His success is compared to Luciano Pavarotti’s career, and Piotr Beczała is often called his successor. He rarely sings in Poland, which is why a lieder recital accompanied at the piano by Helmut Deutsch is one of few occasions to listen to the master.
The programme will include works by Stefano Donaudy, Ermano Wolf-Ferrari, Ottorino Respighi, and Francesco Paolo Tosti. The second part will be devoted entirely to Polish music. We will hear Six Songs, Op. 2 by Karol Szymanowski, songs by Mieczysław Karłowicz (Czasem, gdy długo na pół sennie marzę; Na spokojnym ciemnym morzu; Rdzawe liście; W wieczorną ciszę; Zasmuconej; Przed nocą wieczną; Zaczarowana królewna) and Stanisław Moniuszko (Dwie zorze, Prząśniczka, Polna różyczka, Krakowiaczek ci ja).
