Masters of Musical is a unique opportunity to meet the artists who have been shaping the history of Polish musical theatre for many years. In the October instalment of the series, Kraków’s VARIETE Theatre offers a special Halloween evening with musicals. Zofia Nowakowska and Janusz Kruciński – a duo well known to audiences from the most significant musical productions of recent decades - will join us on stage.
The concert will feature songs inspired by mystery, darkness and extraordinary stories. The programme will feature musical hits from the cult classic Dracula, as well as other numbers that are perfectly suited to the atmosphere of a late October evening. It is a brilliant opportunity to discover a less obvious side of musicals!
The artists will be accompanied on the piano by Andrzej Perkman, and the intimate setting of the concert will allow the most important elements of the musical – the emotions, the story and the power of the performance – to come to the fore.
The October instalment of the Masters of Musical is an event for musical theatre aficionados and anyone who wants to spend a Halloween evening in a unique atmosphere. Come and enjoy a concert full of superb music, unforgettable performances and musical tales with a touch of mystery!
