8½ hours of opera?

8½ hours of opera?

In the company of the emerging artist from Warsaw’s Opera Academy, Operatic Oniricon is a presentation of Italian arias and ensembles in the form of a journey into the subconscious.

As a tribute to the realm of dreams and unconscious desires of Federico Fellini, Operatic Oniricon takes its name from a newspaper column in which the brilliant director interpreted his readers’ dreams. Drawing inspiration from Fellini’s aesthetics, Polish National Opera has entrusted to director Kamila Straszyńska with the challenge to shine a new light on extracts of operas by Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini which are performed by the members of the Opera Academy. Streamed by Slippedisc, courtesy of OperaVision.

Sung in Italian with subtitles in English
