Spaniard claims Krakow theatre

Spaniard claims Krakow theatre

Message from José Miguel Pérez-Sierra:

I am happy to be able to share with you my appointment as Musical and Artistic Director of the Royal Opera Festival in Krakow.
In addition to the close collaboration since 2019 with the Rossini in Wildbad Festival, 4 years ago, from the hand of the Instituto Cervantes de Krakow and the Spanish Embassy in Poland, we are bringing the Zarzuela to Poland with huge success from public and critics.
Within my mission as Musical Director of the Theater of Zarzuela, I hope that this new stage in which I will also be at the front of the Royal Opera Festival serves to strengthen and grow the presence of our lyrical genre abroad, thus giving another fundamental step to arrive to be the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Thank you to my Intendente Mateusz Prendota for trusting me for this responsibility, and to my beloved and admired Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra, for being my “perfect partners” for this adventure.
