In every branch of contemporary art, our rich Polish folklore becomes a source of inspiration for artists. nown for being very musical, Poles love dance and music. Folk melodies Kcan be heard in Chopin’s works, while Krzysztof Penderecki and Witold Lutosławski set new standards in the world of avant-garde music. Poland attracts a lot of attention, thanks to its talented jazz musicians and young artists excelling in the domain of alternative music. The poetry of Wisława Szymborska, recognised with a Nobel Prize, is appreciated in many corners of the world. Like Szymborska’s poems, many others’ works have been translated into foreign languages: the literary reportages of Ryszard Kapuściński, the futuristic prose of Stanisław Lem or the dramas of Sławomir Mrożek. Igor Mitoraj and Magdalena Abakanowicz are consid- ered ambassadors of Polish sculpture, with their monumental works arousing worldwide admi- ration. Roman Opałka’s and Wilhelm Sasnal’s paintings are highly sought after by art collec- tors. ▶ ▶ Poland has been home to many illustrious personalities, whose work changed the face of the world. Some were scientists, like Nicolaus Coperni- cus or Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Others shaped our reality in different ways, for example, the founders of Hollywood, Samuel Goldwyn and the Warner brothers.

  • Premiere of “Nabucco” on 25 May 2019
    Semperoper Dresden: Premiere of “Nabucco” on 25 May 2019 PRESS RELEASE First new production under the baton of the Semperoper’s Principal Guest Conductor, Omer Meir Wellber / Triple debut for Saioa Hernández / Plácido Domingo sings title role in June Dresden, 24 May 2019. On Saturday, 25 May 2019, the curtain will rise in the Semperoper for the premiere of David Bösch’s new production of “Nabucco”. Following his debut with Korngold’s “Die tote Stadt”, the director is now staging Verdi’s third opera in Dresden. Simultaneously, this is the first new production in Dresden to be conducted by Omer Meir Wellber, one of the leading maestros in the operatic and orchestral repertoire, and who, from this season, is principal guest conductor of the Semperoper. Andrzej Dobber, one of the world’s top Verdi baritones, will sing the title role of “Nabucco”. The Polish star has already appeared in Dresden this season as Baron Scarpia in “Tosca”. Saioa Hernández will make a triple debut as Abigaille: Not only is she tackling this role for the first time, but she is also making her Semperoper and German debuts. After making her house debut at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala in December 2018 as Odabella (“Attila”), the multi award-winning Spanish soprano has been acclaimed around the world as a new star in the operatic firmament. The role of Fenena will be sung by mezzo-soprano Christa Meyer, a permanent member of the Semperoper ensemble, who has already delighted audiences this season as Geneviève in “Pelléas et Mélisande” and Adelaide in “Arabella”.

    Network Notebook Summer Quarter 2017 (July - September) A World of Services for Our Affiliates We make great radio as affordable as possible: • Our production costs are primarily covered by our arts partners and outside funding, not from our affiliates, marketing or sales. • Affiliation fees only apply when a station takes three or more programs. The actual affiliation fee is based on a station’s market share. Affiliates are not charged fees for the selection of WFMT Radio Network programs on the Public Radio Exchange (PRX). • The cost of our Beethoven and Jazz Network overnight services is based on a sliding scale, depending on the number of hours you use (the more hours you use, the lower the hourly rate). We also offer reduced Beethoven and Jazz Network rates for HD broadcast. Through PRX, you can schedule any hour of the Beethoven or Jazz Network throughout the day and the files are delivered a week in advance for maximum flexibility. We provide highly skilled technical support: • Programs are available through the Public Radio Exchange (PRX). PRX delivers files to you days in advance so you can schedule them for broadcast at your convenience. We provide technical support in conjunction with PRX to answer all your distribution questions. In cases of emergency or for use as an alternate distribution platform, we also offer an FTP (File Transfer Protocol), which is kept up to date with all of our series and specials. We keep you informed about our shows and help you promote them to your listeners: • Affiliates receive our quarterly Network Notebook with all our program offerings, and our regular online WFMT Radio Network Newsletter, with news updates, previews of upcoming shows and more.
