Poland Theatre Newsroom

Konrad Imiela, Capitol Theatre long-time director and a defining figure of the venue, sat down with me to talk about the magic of theatre, what makes Wrocław’s stage unique, and what shaped his musical opinions.

Get a first look at rehearsals for the Non-Replica production of Wicked at Teatr Muzyczny ROMA. This is the first time the musical has ever been staged in Poland. The production will begin performances on April 5th, is currently set to run through June 29th, 2025.

​​​​​​​It’s not a musical, per se, but music breathes through it, shaping the atmosphere, cutting through the silence, and seeping into every moment like an invisible pulse. And that brings me to the key player: Michał Litwiniec. He’s not just composing the soundscape; he is the soundscape. Positioned within the set, half-seen, half-heard, like some enigmatic figure lurking in the woods, his presence alone could tell the story. Honestly, if it were just him on stage, with nothing but his music, it would still be hauntingly powerful. But don’t get me wrong—the rest of the show is far from secondary.

What did our critic think of THE SNOW QUEEN at Wroclaw Opera?

If you love American musicals, you know Jonathan Larson, you know Rent, and chances are, you’ve been eagerly waiting for this show to hit the stage—months, maybe even years.

Ta obłędnie śmieszna komedia niezaplanowanych sytuacji, mogłaby zdarzyć się  naprawdę, gdy fantazja zaczyna wodzić bohaterów na pokuszenie lub… wodzić ich za nos, ku uciesze wkręconego w tę szałową drakę Widza.

What did our critic think of CARMEN at Polish National Opera?

And this one is no exception. If I had to point out any weak spots, well, this review would end right here because, honestly, there aren’t any. Instead, let me take you into the sea of brilliance that director Jacek Mikolajczyk has pulled us into.

I have nothing to hide: I'm obsessed with Broadway’s Chicago. Everything: the music, choreographies by Bob Fosse, costumes, and the general vibe. Everything screams: greatness.

I would be brief for this text as I’m still processing this show. It was a mixture of contradictions that was made to impress. It was a mixture of contradictions that aimed to impress. I was impressed and in a way obsessed by certain points.
