BARON CYGAŃSKI is one of the most famous operettas and at the same time the greatest success of its composer. During the premiere, the enthusiasm of the audience was so enormous that almost the entire performance was played as an encore. Strauss composed music full of lightness and grace. Driven by the desire to write a real opera, it was based on extensive vocal parts. The action is set in spectacular scenery, in which the exoticism of Gypsy folklore is intertwined with the splendor of Viennese salons. The director, Tomasz Konina, in order to meet Strauss's ambitions, produced the performance with great panache. He interpreted the libretto in such an original way that the adventures of the characters - apart from excellent entertainment - provide the viewers with many reasons for reflection. The plot was moved from the 18th century to the interwar period, and next to the gypsy rolling stock and a chest full of treasures, there was a provincial circus and cabaret like from a movie by Bob Fosse. "In a crazy, dancing spectacle," wrote the director, "you can feel the atmosphere of danger and the approaching World War II, where each of the characters will have to find their place and define their place."
