Misery jostling us yonder – JAWNUTA Moniuszko – Poznań Opera

Poznań Opera Choir sing ‘A za nami wszędzie nędza, od wsi do wsi nas popędza’ (‘Village to village we wander, misery jostling us yonder’) from Moniuszko’s opera Jawnuta. Observing a mother fighting for the safety of her daughter, Jewa breaks down in tears. As Chicha asks the reason for these tears, Jewa tells the story about how she could not save her own children. It is now time for the young Chicha to learn about one of the darkest hour in the history of the Roma community... Poznań Opera stage a rarely performed opera by Stanislaw Moniuszko, shown for the first time in a full musical arrangement prepared by its conductor Rafał Kłoczko. Ilaria Lanzino, an Italian director of the young generation, known for her unconventional and coherent productions, directs Jawnuta to designs by Dorota Karolczak. For Lanzino, this is a story about the Polish Roma and their complicated history, about the power of prejudice and how to avoid it. Be prepared to be moved by Moniuszko’s lyrical Roma songs and rousing melodies.
