The Haunted Manor is not only the most perfect work by Moniuszko in terms of music, but also one of the leading works of Polish opera in the 19th century. The great structure of group scenes, subtle and colorful instrumentalization, extraordinary melodic inventiveness and captivating atmosphere of Polishness are the unquestionable qualities of this piece. Moniuszko completed his fifth opera shortly after the fall of the January Uprising, so it is hardly surprising that it soon became known as a great patriotic demonstration. Right after its premiere, THE Haunted Manor hit the censorship wall. The Russian authorities, fearing riots, removed him from the poster after three performances. Here is a proof of how the fate of the opera can be influenced by external circumstances - because although the drawing of the characters themselves can be seen as influenced by the masterpieces of Fredro and Mickiewicz, the whole thing is nothing more, like a joyful, at times mocking, belcant-like affirmation of parochial Polishness. Elements of folklore, numerous patriotic themes and the atmosphere of a noble court mean that today this work is considered a Polish national opera. Awards: ENERGY KULTURY 2014 for the best cultural event in Łódź in 2014 and Złota Maska for the best performance of the 2014/15 season. ~~ ENG ~~ The Haunted Manor was the first opera presented in the Łódź Opera. On the 60th anniversary of this event, we have decided to stage Moniuszko's opera once again in our theater. We believe that every opera house in Poland should have this piece in its repertoire. The Haunted Manor is a great Polish opera, which combines Polish music tradition with motifs taken from the Italian comic opera. The piece is about two brothers, Stefan and Zbigniew, who vouch not to ever get married. They are, however, manipulated by their family to change their minds and take interest in two sisters, Hanna and Jadwiga. Our Haunted Manor will definitely be worth seeing. It is directed by Krystyna Janda. ~~~~ Composer: Stanisław Moniuszko Librettist: Jan Chęciński Premiere: October 18, 2014 Duration: 3 h 10 min (2 breaks) Directed by: Krystyna Janda Set design: Magdalena Maciejewska Costumes: Dorota Roqueplo Choreography: Emil Wesołowski Lighting effects director: Katarzyna Łuszczyk
