An evening full of Christmas magic, timeless melodies and swinging sound is coming to town! The December instalment of the ‘Masters of the Musical’ series will take you on a musical journey to the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s United States - the time and place where radio stations played Christmas hits performed by legendary signers - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Aretha Franklin.
The programme features well-known and loved songs, including Let It Snow, Jingle Bells, White Christmas, Santa Baby, and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, as well as other musical gems that have been a part of the magical Christmas atmosphere for years. All the songs will be performed in Polish. The concert will take the form of a musical radio show, featuring famous tunes, swinging rhythms and Christmas cheer.
The songs will be performed by Tomasz Steciuk, Anita Steciuk, Weronika Bochat-Piotrowska and Marta Wiejak – outstanding artists of the Polish musical theatre scene, known from their roles in The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, Wicked, The Addams Family, Evita and Singin’ in the Rain. Anita and Tomasz Steciuk are currently performing in The Witches staged at the VARIETE Theatre in Kraków, where they play the roles of Rebecca Nurse and Governor Danforth.
The artists will be accompanied on the piano by Tymoteusz Hartmann – a pianist, composer, arranger and orchestrator associated with Warsaw theatres.
Let the swinging rhythms sweep you away and feel the Christmas magic in the best cheerful tunes!
Concert duration: 1h 20 min. (no intermission)
