A chance to hear one of the great Polish national operas, Halka, by 19th-century composer Stanislaw Moniuszko, recorded at the Theater an der Wien in Austria, last year. Halka is a deeply lyrical work, packed with good tunes and full of Polish character telling the story of a mountain-girl Halka, spurned by her lover Janusz, and of the tragic consequences that follow. The libretto is by the radical Warsaw poet Wlodzimierz Wolski and the opera is sung in Polish. It's introduced by Tom McKinney.
