PLATINUM PROGRAMME – SUMMER 2016 PROPOSALS One show in several locations TOSCA One of the most famous operas ever, Giacomo Puccini’s masterpiece. A deeply moving story of the love of the singer Tosca and Cavaradossi – the painter, with which cruel history and politics will interfere. Unforgettable arias brimming with Puccini’s characteristic melody charm, “theatre in theatre”, elements of staggering realism add up to make this opera, enthralling yet another generation of the audience.

Ticket price: 160 PLN (highest category seats) A marvellous comedy about a troublesome tenor When the world’s famous tenor is about to visit Cleveland, everyone is very excited and nervous. However, right before the premiere, everything starts getting really complicated. It’s all because of mood swings and illness of the star of the night. His marriage problems make things even worse, leading to tragedy. The premiere has to take place anyway and the desperate opera’s director is going to do whatever it takes, even a scandalous cover-up, to make it happen. When everything seems to be going according to his plan, it is ruined by curious women. Lend me a tenor! is one of the funniest comedies ever written, a story about love, jealousy, business and big dreams. It is also the story of the birth of a new star. The show will not be short of hilarious mistakes, sudden twists of the plot and the dressing-up, which audiences like so much. Appearing on the stage will be among others: Katarzyna Zielińska, Katarzyna Skrzynecka, Olaf Lubaszenko. LEND ME A TENOR!

PLATINUM PROGRAMME – SUMMER 2015 PROPOSALS Masterpiece performances of Chopin’s music CHOPIN AND HIS EUROPE The 12th edition of the Chopin and his Europe International Music Festival traces the various influences on Chopin’s music, as well as that of Chopin’s music on the works of other composers. It features Chopin’s favorite musical genres – opera, art song, concerto, chamber music; finally, it showcases a phenomenon popular in the 19 th century, consisting of arrangements, paraphrases and variations on the themes of the best-known works from that era. It also undertakes daring – though risky, and thereby provocative as well – transformations of Chopin’s masterpieces into another type sound. All of this in masterful renditions on both contemporary and historical instruments. Photo byPhoto Ewa Krasucka by B. Sadowski, NIFC 28 August 2016, Sunday, 8.00 p.m. Filharmonia Narodowa, Warszawa A great wealth of various performances styles – especially of music by the festival’s patron – will be heard in the interpretation i.a. of Seong-Jin Cho, laureate of the first prize of the most recent Chopin Competition. Ticket price: 150 PLN (highest category seats) Several wives are better than one What worse than marriage to befall a man? Possibly only the lack of a wife. Especially as having one is the precondition for promotion and the boss wants to see her over dinner. It turns out however that having several wives may be even worse… particularly when they are not quite yours. On top of that they show up all at the same time and at the same table – facing the boss and his wife. Disaster is imminent and the promotion has to be waved good-bye. Yet more often than not a smart wife saved her husband’s day. How about several wives and not quite their husband? Edward Taylor’s No Dinner for Sinners is an intelligent comedy, brimming with brilliant verbal and situational humour. A guarantee of entertainment full of laughter and a touch of irony and sarcasm targeted at each of us. The magnificent cast adds credibility to the show – Magdalena Wójcik, Maria Pakulnis, Marcin Troński, Klaudia Halejcio. NO DINNER FOR SINNERS Photo Photoby byO.

Apparently, in order to fly you do not have to jump with a parachute. There is another way – a free fall simulator. Flyspot is the most high-tech windtunnel in Europe with a diameter of 4.5 metres and a closed air circuit, where high power ventilators generate a uniform airflow with speed up to 310 km/h. It is a place where gravity does not exist. Photo Photo by EwabyKrasucka W. Krynski, Flyspot Open daily 8.30 a.m.–12.00 p.m.; prior booking required. Mory near Warszawa A ninety-second flight from the starter pack, which corresponds to a parachute jump from an altitude of 4000 metres, is among the most exciting experiences in life. Not only does it allow you to experience free-fall flying but also to attempt controlling it for the first time. This is the first step towards the elite circle of indoor-skydivers.
