Two Elements

Their concert will be held on 1 January 2017 at the Opera Hall of the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures in Lublin. The project will involve accompaniment of The Lower Silesia Philharmonic Orchestra and Lublin “Elementorum” Choir combined with Lviv State Academic Male Choir “Dudaryk”. In total, 120 people will perform together on the stage.

The concert will be a musical feast aimed to focus the attention of all groups of listeners, and not only opera music lovers. The artists will sing opera hits (e.g. “O mio babbino caro” or the popular “Libiamo”), and operetta and musical theatre works (e.g. “In Sleep He Sang to Me” from “The Phantom of the Opera”). Songs by Krzysztof Cugowski will be specially arranged for a symphony orchestra. The concert will be highlighted by original duets which may not be repeated in this line-up anymore.
