About Us
With over a hundred years of tradition, the Poznań Opera House has, in recent seasons, been gaining an increasingly important position not only on the Polish but also on the European opera scene. Since Renata Borowska-Juszczyńska took over as director in 2012, the Poznań Opera House has significantly expanded its repertoire and become a recognizable brand, known for boldly embracing contemporary stage productions and playing the role of patron for young creators. Through its active involvement in the Opera Europa association, Poznań Opera House participates in the OperaVision project, which aims to make opera performances accessible via a streaming platform. Reviews and information about Poznań Opera House are consistently featured in media outlets in the United States, Italy, France, Denmark, and Germany. The theatre receives numerous awards annually and was recently nominated in three categories for the prestigious Opera Awards, often referred to as the “Oscars” of the opera world. The premiere of Moniuszko’s Paria (June 2019) was recognized as one of the most important events of the Moniuszko Year. Additionally, the production and its creators received five nominations for the Jan Kiepura Music Theatre Awards.
