The first great success of director Mariusz Treliński and
stage designer Boris F. Kudlička at the Polish National Opera.
The Warsaw production of "Madame Butterfly" caught the
attention of the artistic director of the Washington Opera,
the great tenor Placido Domingo, and was also staged in
Washington as a co-production with the Teatr Wielki – Opera
Narodowa. The Washington premiere took place in 2001, to great
audience acclaim and excellent reviews in the American press.
“Never in my long life have I seen such an excellent
production of "Madame Butterfly". But it’s not just that. This
is one of the most beautiful productions I have ever seen at
the opera,” said Placido Domingo in an interview.
Conductor - José Cura
Director - Mariusz Treliński.

In 2004, the Easter Festival will be organized around the
theme Beethoven and the Music of the Nations of Europe. This
title relates the festival events to Poland’s entry into the
European Union. The Festival programme is designed so as to
show Beethoven’s works in various contexts and from different
angles. The work of the “first liberated artist” meets the
oeuvre of his contemporaries, with the works of Romantic,
Modernist and 20th-century composers acting as a counterpoint.
In this way Beethoven’s music becomes a source of inspiration
to look for new references and reinterpretations in culture.
Mrs. Elżbieta Penderecka, the Artistic Director of the
Festival, has consistently followed the principle that a
carefully selected programme of the concerts is interpreted by
the best, internationally renowned artists.

Japanese contemporary artist. As painter, sculptor,
performer, author of installations, video films and
novels.She has achieved world-wide recognition and acclaim
on two occasions : the first in New York in the ’60s and the
second in the ’90s, when at an already advanced age, she
made a triumphant return to the world art scene in an
extensive number of exhibitions, such as the exhibition
‘Love Forever: Yayoi Kusama 1958-1968’ in the New York
Museum of Modern Art in 1998 demonstrating her influence on
the American art of the ’60s.
The exhibition at Zachęta attempts to do no more than
present a fraction of Kusama’s rich creative output. It will
include a selection of her images, drawings collages and
other works from all the major stages of the artist’s
career.Within the frame of the exhibition we will also show
a series of archive slides of Kusama called Walking Piece
(1966), documenting a performance when the artist walked
around the streets of New York in a kimono.
The works gathered for the exhibition come from the
collections of the Kusama Studio and Ota Fine Arts, Tokyo;
Les Abattoirs, Toulouse; Galerie Pičce Unique, Paris; Fonds
National d'Art Contemporain, Puteaux and

The art of glasswork can be extremely versatile. In the
hands of renowned Scandinavian artists, this traditional
material has entered new aesthetic dimensions. Glass
sculptures, glass painting, glass objects, and glass
tableware are only a few of the multiple artistic forms that
glass can take.
It is impossible to imagine the world of Danish art without
Per Hebsgaard, who has also earned an international
reputation. Due to his vast knowledge, and in particular, to
his unlimited desire to experiment with glass, he enjoys
universal acclaim. Nothing seems to be impossible for him. A
variety of fresh and original techniques have emerged out of
his innovative spirit. The gtassworks created in his studio
are more than merely applied art in the traditional sense.
The Reflections in a New Nordic Light exhibition attempts to
introduce the public to the multitude of embodiments and
forms of Scandinavian glasswork. (Astrid la Cour) .
