'Cisza dokoła' – THE HAUNTED MANOR Moniuszko – Poznań Opera

Piotr Kalina sings Stefan’s aria from Act III of Straszny dwór (The Haunted Manor) by Stanisław Moniuszko. In the moonlight, Stefan is haunted by Hanna’s beautiful eyes, but then remembers his vow to remain single so that he may be ready to lay down his life for his country at any time. The clock strikes twelve, and the chimes play a polonaise that reminds him of his mother.

About The Haunted Manor:

After returning from the war, two brothers resolve never to marry so that they can serve their country. But they find their match when they meet two strong-willed sisters living in a mysterious manor.

Considered a jewel of 19th-century Polish opera, Stanislaw Moniuszko’s The Haunted Manor remains largely unknown abroad. Full of melodic inventiveness, bel canto inspiration and unique local colour, it certainly deserves a wider audience. After David Pountney’s production for Polish National Opera (streamed on our platform in 2015), Poznań Opera's resolutely modern production - directed by the winner of the European Opera Directing Prize Ilaria Lanzino - should help find more admirers for Moniuszko’s masterpiece.

Premiere in Poznań streamed LIVE on OperaVision on 9 July 2021 at 19:00 CET and available until 9 January 2022:
