Sala: Teatr Wielki, Warsaw

Two very popular comedy ballets to celebrate the music of Stanisław Moniuszko.

Polish National Ballet has a successful new family ballet in Anna Hop's full-length Pinokio.

Prokofiev's score is reordered, the choreography is contemporary, characters are missing, and each of the three main scenes is set during a different 20th-century time period... yet, to a certain extent, it works.

Mariusz Treliński's Traviata had nothing to do with Dumas, Piave or Verdi. It's as if he confused La Dame aux camélias with Lulu.

Strong musical performances, but Ivo Van Hove’s Powerpoint presentation of Clemenza at the Teatr Wielki is out of focus.
