As you already know, we do not travel abroad for several reasons. But we're not wasting time.
We are catching up with cultural events in Szczecin. After the pandemic, the offer is huge: the opera, theaters and philharmonic offer extremely interesting performances every week. It's hard to choose, and above all, it's hard to find money for all these attractions. Tickets have increased in line with the inflation…
The Szczecin Philharmonic, which has been operating for over 5 years, ensures an extraordinary level of performance and provides additional aesthetic impressions from the fact of staying in this extraordinary place.
Here you can take a virtual tour of the building. The tour in English is in the second video from the top.

Today we chose the philharmonic, because Gluck's opera Orpheus and Eurydice was performed there in a concert version.
The biggest attraction was the performance of Jakub Józef Orliński – a world-renowned countertenor.
I recommend reading about him and his artistic path and listening to his extraordinary voice.

The standing ovation lasted several minutes, forcing the orchestra and soloists to encore!
It is worth remembering the name of this artist, because we will often hear much more about his wonderfully developing musical career.
