– The Wrocław Opera will be the world’s first theatre to begin celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Leonard Bernstein’s birth. On 30 and 31 December 2017 it will be hosting the premiere of Candide directed by Hanna Marasz. The Wrocław Opera Orchestra will be conducted by Marcin Nałęcz-Niesiołowski, Director of the Wrocław Opera. Performances are scheduled for 1, 6 and 7 January 2018.

2018 also marks 100 years of Polish independence. In celebration of the Centennial, the Wrocław Opera has prepared a number of events under the shared title of The Polish Year at the Wrocław Opera. Following the premiere of Poland’s first opera, Krakowiacy i Gorale, which dates back to the 18^th century, a concert for the 150^th Anniversary of the birth of the father of Polish freedom, First Marshal Jozef Piłsudski, and the Christmas Singing Families Tournament (Turniej Śpiewających Rodzin), the theatre will be staging performances with the music of Polish composers from the 19^th, 20^th and 21^st centuries. Of those, Krzysztof Penderecki will take centre stage, as 2018 marks his 85^th birthday. Visit the Wrocław Opera in 2018.
