Halka

At Theater an der Wien Stanislaw Moniuszkos Polish national opera Halka is performed by a superb cast including Corinne Winters (devotedly), Piotr Beczala (vocally outstanding) and Tomasz Konieczny (his acting is piercing) (Der Standard). The Polish leading team, above all director Mariusz Trelinski, puts the plot into a supercooled crime aesthetic. The ORF Radio Symphonie-Orchester Wien under the baton of Lukasz Borowicz plays with perceptible delight. A gripping opera evening (Wiener Zeitung).
