Apart from the organization of running events – both in the capital and outside of it – the Polish Royal Opera hosts two festivals. The main purpose of this programme is to popularize high culture in various remote places in Poland, especially where the access to professional theatres is limited. One of the priorities for the Polish Royal Opera is the OPERA ON THE ROAD concert cycle. The Opera also invites top-class artists of the Polish and international scene – soloists, conductors, and directors – to participate in individual opera productions and concerts. Apart from the extraordinary soloists, the chorus and the orchestra, the Opera has its own period instruments ensemble, the Capella Regia Polona. In order to fulfil all the above goals, the Polish Royal Opera employs a permanent team of great artists. Period and modern compositions, chamber and symphonic works alike are presented with care for the highest possible level of performance, so as to offer the audience the sound possibly closest to the original. Apart from operatic productions, the institution is also active when it comes to concerts. Another important task of the Opera is to bring back the abundant, and often forgotten, Polish repertoire: not only operas but also vocal and instrumental pieces. The main one are new productions of the greatest period operas, especially Baroque and Classicist works. The activity of the Polish Royal Opera is based on three pillars. Now this position is held by Andrzej Klimczak, who has participated in the organization and development of the Opera from the very beginning. Ryszard Peryt became the first director of the Polish Royal Opera. The Opera was formed in order to meet the strong demand for a new chamber opera house vocalized by the musicians and music lovers community. The Polish Royal Opera started its activity as a new state cultural institution on 1 August 2017, by virtue of the Ordinance of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of 25 July 2017.
