A story made in ideal proportions: a touch of nostalgia, a bit of humour, the charm of a world long gone, a wistful phrase of the violin, excellent scenography by Ryszard Kaja, and dance-infused staging by Emil Wesołowski. The greatest musical of all time – Fiddler on the Roof…
Poor milkman Tevye struggles with adversities and bickers with God every day. He has five daughters ready for marriage, his horse is limping, his beloved wife is always complaining… The life in tiny Anatevka village, somewhere on the outskirts of the Russian empire, goes to the rhythm of every-day problems and rare successes. When great History mercilessly enters everyday life of the protagonists of this charming story, some stage of their lives needs to end. And yet, together with the inhabitants of Anatevka, we have deep faith that luck will change, because against all odds we deeply believe that… “Sunrise, sunset, swiftly flow the days.”
