After the success of the production of Prokofiev's opera Love for Three Oranges (2014), Michał Znaniecki returned to the Kraków stage to study the performance of King Roger. Szymanowski's modernist work (1924) has attracted increasing attention in recent years and is often played around the world. The production of this musical drama from the workshop of director Warlikowski (Opéra Bastille, Paris, 2009; Teatro Real, Madrid, 2011) is well known, as is the performance of Znaniecky (Bilbao, 2012) and the production of Kasper Holten (Royal Opera House, London, 2015). Michał Znaniecki's Krakow realization emphasizes the human dimension of the work: the king views his own individuality in its basic forms - man, leader, head of family, father, husband. He goes through emotional and mental transformations to ask fundamental questions about the meaning of being.
