Sacra rappresentazione in two acts. Sung parts in English, spoken parts in Polish.
I believe that development is not just about moving forward; sometimes you have to think, take those two steps back to move forward.
Krzysztof Penderecki

There is an exceptional challenge before us, this time the Lodz Grand Theatre presents Paradise Lost - Krzysztof Penderecki's unique opera based on John Milton's poem, in which biblical themes find their references in reality in a very clear way. This outstanding work of Maestro Penderecki has never been hosted on the stages of Lodz, so there is an opportunity to realize the performance, taking full advantage of the technical and artistic capabilities of the Lodz Grand Theatre, in a way that will delight, enchant and inspire the audience of Lodz and the entire Lodz region or perhaps even Poland. We hope that this opera will stay in the repertoire of the Theatre for a long time and will convey profound emotions to the next generations of our audience. This musical and vocal piece will be our tribute to the Master on the 90th anniversary of his birth, but also proof that the music of the Great is great and timeless!

This undoubtedly magnificent opera spectacle will be introduced to us thanks to the professionalism and scenic imagination of Michal Znaniecki (direction), Luigi Scoglio (stage design) and Rafal Janiak (music direction), who are already well known to Lodz music lovers.
