The Polish Royal Opera started its activity as a new state-funded cultural institution on 1 August 2017, by the Ordinance of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of 25 July 2017. The Opera was established in order to meet the strong demand for a new chamber opera house voiced by musicians and music lovers alike.
The activity of the Polish Royal Opera is founded on three key pillars. The primary focus is on new productions of the greatest period operas, with a particular emphasis on Baroque and Classical works. Another significant aspect of the Opera’s mission is to revive the rich, yet often overlooked, Polish repertoire, including not only operas but also vocal and instrumental pieces. In addition to opera productions, the institution is also active in organizing concerts. Both period and modern compositions, encompassing chamber and symphonic works, are performed with meticulous attention to achieving the highest level of artistry, striving to offer the audience a sound as close as possible to the historical original.
