Pożegnanie z Carmen i odkrycie Erismeny
Farewell to Carmen and discovery of Erismena

Summary/Abstract: Natalia Jakubowa writes about two opera plays: "Carmen" by Dmitrij Czerniakow and Erismena by Jean Belloni (Festiwal in Aix-en-Provence, 3-22.07.2017). Juxtaposing two distinct interpretations of opera classics, she analyses the solutions that aim at rupture with conventional motions of soloists and at throwing into question the method of subordinating the plays to the commonplace fabula schemas. Jakubowa argues that the history presented in Erismena (the opera which is less-known than Bizet's one) enables to overcome on many levels a traditional way of staging musical spectacle.
