Approved

"Secret Requiem" is a theater and opera performance that will introduce the audience to the mysterious story of the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the accompanying aura of the artist's last composition - "Requiem".

Dark apparitions and ghosts of the dead harass Emperor Leopold II, with whom the artist was the court composer of chamber music.
Who is to blame for the premature death of the great composer? Wife? Sister? Mistress? Or maybe he was poisoned by his musical competitor Antonio Salieri?
The clues are not clear-cut, anyone can turn out to be a killer. The theatrical narrative of exploration is accompanied by the most famous arias from operas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, performed by the daring artists of the Silesian Opera (Adam Sobierajski, Anna Borucka, Gabriela Gołaszewska, Ewelina Szybilska, Adam Woźniak, Maciej Komandera, choir, orchestra conducted by Maciej Tomasiewicz). The performance, combined with the ballet interpretation "Requiem", is an important diptych, on the one hand introducing the audience to the historical background, and on the other, offering an unforgettable musical feast.

The premiere of the "Secret Requiem" is combined with the ballet performance Requiem in D minor KV 626 by WA Mozart, one of the composer's greatest sacred works and his last, unfinished composition. around the creation of the Requiem was an aura of mystery A mysterious messenger ordered them. We now know that it was the envoy of the eccentric Count Franz von Walsegg, who wanted to commemorate his deceased wife with this composition.

Thanks to Jacek Tyski's choreography, music gains a completely new dimension and, together with dance, constitutes a common, inseparable composition.
