Album rodzinny [Family album]. A children’s opera for soprano, counter-tenor, string orchestra and video projection (libretto: Michał Rusinek)
A good text, good music, voices, a string orchestra, video – and you have an opera! For children, but also for parents and grandparents. Intergenerational.
Jerzy Kornowicz and Michał Rusinek have put together an Album rodzinny [Family album], an expedition into the past, to events preserved in our shared memory, with funny and serious stories coloured by that memory which, as we know, loves playing tricks. Children’s imagination – it’s good to have contact with it as an adult! – can shed light on many a family secret. And the music will also contribute. After all, music has the power to both order and distort reality.
Publisher of Jerzy Kornowicz’s work is PWM Edition.
Co-financed from the funds of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland
