Wrocław | Paweł Łukaszewski's "Via Crucis" transmitted by TVP Kultura

ow

Via Crucis oratorio by Paweł Łukaszewski will be performed on 30 and 31 March 2018 at the Wrocław Opera. TVP Kultura will broadcast the event live on Good Friday at 8.00 p.m.

Holy Week is for the Christians a solemn time commemorating the last days of Christ's life. Preparations for the greatest feast, that is the Lord's Resurrection, are in progress. On Good Friday, a day of reflection, the Choir and orchestra of the Wrocław Opera under the direction of Marcin Nałęcz-Niesiołowski will perform the oratorio Via Crucis of the contemporary Polish composer Paweł Łukaszewski. This work has a contemplative character – it focuses on the mystery of death and resurrection, sin and redemption. It was composed in accordance with the Stations of the Cross: each of its parts is a musical reflection of the last path of Christ. The visual side of the performance will be complemented by a series of paintings by Jerzy Duda-Gracz, "Jasnogórska Golgota", which constitute a pictorial commentary on the most important event in the liturgical year.

The director of the spectacle is Tomasz Man, the choreographer – Artur Dobrzański, the narrator – Angelo Romagnoli. Anetta Piekarska-Man has prepared an unusual set design, and Zuzanna Piekarska is responsible for multimedia projections. The soloists are: Wojciech Basiakowski, Piotr Łykowski, Aleksander Zuchowicz, Adam Zdunikowski, Jacek Jaskuła, Mirosław Gotfryd, Aneta Głuch, Ewelina Ciszewska and Adrianna Maliszewska.

TVP Kultura will broadcast the performance of Paweł Łukaszewski's Via Crucis live on 30 March 2018 at 8 p.m. Earlier, that day, at 8:00 a.m. and 12.25 p.m., Paweł Łukaszewski will be a guest of Małgorzata Nieciecka-Mac in the "Studio Kultura – Rozmowy" programme.

The project is part of the Polish independence centenary celebrations. The patronage over the spectacle was taken by the Polish Music Publishing House as part of the TUTTI.pl project promoting the performance of Polish music.
