One of Poland's most loved operas, Halka was recorded at last year's Chopin and his Europe festival in Warsaw.

The story is of village girl Halka who, despite the love of local lad Jontek, falls into the clutches of lecherous nobleman Janusz. He makes her pregnant but then abandons her; the baby dies and when, in her grief, she learns that Janusz has become engaged, she plots her revenge
