In which we find out why Sandor Barinkay came here in the company of the government commissioner Carner. But regaining the family estates will not be easy: Barinkay's father died in exile a quarter of a century ago, and although the country was liberated from Turkish captivity, the property, unfortunately, fell into different hands. There are witnesses who remember those times - for example the old Gypsy Czipra, who will be happy to testify for the benefit of young Sandor. However, Kalman Żupan, an enterprising pig breeder, is not very satisfied with the restoration of the property to the rightful owner. Besides, how is he to sign if he can't write. And yet, it is possible to get out of trouble, as Sandor is extremely powerless against the female beauty, and Arsena is Zupan's daughter. The sly pig offers him his daughter's hand, which suits Sandor on the spot. Unfortunately, Arsena loves - and this effectively - the equally passionate Otokar, son of his Bona, Mirabella, who apart from her is only busy searching for the legendary treasure - the one that Sandor's father allegedly acquired in the Turks and then hid somewhere. At this point, Carnero also doesn't quite know whose side to take, despite clear official indications. Twenty years later, it is here that he meets his wife. She is a bygone beauty Mirabella, though still resourceful and clever. So if it is true that Ottokar is twenty years old, Carnero is his father, although it should rather be believed that he was born later, already in a harem, where the omnipotent Pasha did not regret that fate had given him a beautiful captive who, by nature, always succumbed to the stronger . And what next - since Arsena loves Ottokar, who is not going to stop loving Arsena? This is where Saffi appears, a Gypsy woman so beautiful that Sandor becomes at once with the Gypsies. Sandor willingly agrees to become their leader and takes the title of a gypsy baron. Just what the logic of events brings: a wedding with Saffi, even to spite Arsen, which in a way solves the matter. However, neither Żupan nor Carnero can digest this: Barinkay and some gypsy woman, and a wedding! From word to word and act, a great brawl breaks out between Żupan's people and the Gypsies. Barinkay and some gypsy girl, and a wedding! From word to word and act, a great brawl breaks out between Żupan's people and the Gypsies. Barinkay and some gypsy girl, and a wedding! From word to word and act, a great brawl breaks out between Żupan's people and the Gypsies.

English

„Baron cygański” jest jednym z najpopularniejszych i najbardziej lubianych dzieł Johanna Straussa, w którym cygański żywioł przeplata się z wiedeńską elegancją, a wielkie sceny zbiorowe z nastrojowymi ariami i duetami. To klasyczna operetka w pięknych kostiumach, barwnej scenografii ziemi węgierskiej i Wiednia, urzekająca muzyką, popisami wokalnymi i wspaniałymi scenami baletowymi. To arcydzieło gatunku o wyjątkowym uroku i porywającej sceniczności. Akcja libretta opartego na noweli węgierskiego pisarza Maurycego Jókaia pt. "Saffi" rozgrywa się na pograniczu węgiersko-tureckim w połowie XVIII wieku i znajduje swój finał w Wiedniu. Pozwoliło to połączyć w jedną całość intrygujące wątki romansowe, a przede wszystkim stworzyć dzieło
o niebywałej inwencji melodycznej, stapiającej - jak pisze Stromerger - "płynność wiedeńskiego walca z brzękiem ostrogi w czardaszu, cygańską balladę z chórem malowniczych wioślarzy. Sceny liryczne, rytmy marszowe, duety komiczne, żwawe finały uzupełniają piękną operetkę", która gości stale także na operowych scenach.

"Baron Cygański" utrzymuje się w repertuarze Opery Śląskiej nieprzerwanie od 1979 roku. I wciąż jest oczekiwany przez publiczność... Jak wszędzie na świecie. Zapraszamy na przygody Kalmana Żupana – handlarza świń, jego pięknej córki Arseny; ubiegającego się o jej rękę Sandora Barinkaya – tytułowego Barona cygańskiego oraz cyganek Saffi, Czpiry i całego cygańskiego taboru. Czy na pewno uda się poślubić Sandorowi Arsenę? Zobaczycie Państwo już wkrótce.
