19.00 – Stanisław Moniuszko – The Haunted Manor
The soloists of the National Opera and Grand Theatre in Łódź will perform as a part of the Organ Festival. The second most popular opera by Moniuszko, The Haunted Manor, written in the second half of the 19th century glorifies the quiet and joyful nature of the rural life. It was of no surprise therefore, that the critics have found so many similarities connecting it to Pan Tadeusz and declared as important for the Polish culture and tradition as this epic poem by Adam Mickiewicz.
