The official history of the Silesian Opera began on 14th June 1945 with the première of ‘Halka’ – the first post-war opera performance in Poland.

The Silesian Opera itself was established by a world-famous artist – Adam Didur. His authority enabled him to form in a very short time an ensemble of dedicated employees and outstanding artists, well-known in the opera world. Soon the theatre in Bytom gained the reputation of the major opera stage in Poland as well as the “breeding ground for new talents” as it was here that some of the great soloists performed i.a.: Bogdan Paprocki, Andrzej Hiolski, Krystyna Szostek-Radkowa, Romuald Tesarowicz, Maria Fołtyn, Wiktoria Calma, Natalia Stokowacka, Anna Lorenc, Jolanta Wrożyna, Wiesław Ochman (also as a director); and dancers: Barbara Bittnerówna, Olga Sawicka, Gerard Wilk, Henryk Konwiński. The Opera has been promoting young talents via organising – since 1979 – the Opera Singers’ Competition named after Adam Didur, the founding father of the Silesian Opera.  So far we have had six Polish and three international editions of that contest  which remains a unique event worldwide, making the Polish opera culture famous in various parts of the world.
