Performer: Polish National Opera

The Polish National Opera's first staging of Strauss' massive fairy tale feels like a bold statement of intent.

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.

We speak to the Polish musical duo about their experience studying at the Teatr Wielki Akademia Operowa in Warsaw and their current and future projects.
