OPERAVISION: A SNEAK PEEK BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE HAUNTED MANOR MONIUSZKO – POZNAŃ OPERA

 

Poznań Opera

Hailed as the greatest Polish opera of the 19th century, The Haunted Manor does not yet have the international recognition it deserves. In Moniuszko's masterpiece, two brothers just returned from war resolve never to marry in order to serve their country. Their determination is put to the test when they encounter two headstrong sisters living in a mysterious manor house.

At Poznań Opera, the Italian director Ilaria Lanzino and the German set designer Leif-Erik Heine give the opera a revamp. Their directorial concept, which won the 11th European Opera Directing Prize, carves out the generational and gender conflict at its heart. Under the direction of Marco Guidarini, the music brims with its inventive melodies and unique local colour.

Take a glimpse behind the scenes of Poznań Opera during the general rehearsal for Moniuszko’s patriotic opera The Haunted Manor. Ilaria Lanzino's bold staging, for which she won the European Opera Directing Prize, sees the finest Polish opera of the 19th century with fresh eyes.

Premiere in Poznań streamed LIVE on OperaVision on 9 July 2021 at 19:00 CET and available until 9 January 2022:
