Summary/Abstract: Reviewing two performances of Halka (Krakow Opera, dir.: Waldemar Zawodziński, prem.: 16, 18 XII 2011; National Opera in Warsaw, dir.: Natalia Korczakowska, prem.: 23 XII 2011), Grabuś notes the competing claims of new and original readings of this “national” opera that accompanied the premieres. These expectations engender the following remark: “the two presentations turned out to be tediously similar. The directors were unable to bring to life a situation that would justify resuscitating this well-known story, or even interest us in it. Instead, they put forward a more (Korczakowska) or less (Zawodziński) attractive series of images on stage.”
