On the evening of May 10, Aleksandra Kurzak, accompanied by French pianist Morgane Fauchois-Prado sang on the virtual stage of Warsaw's Studio Theatre Gallery in a bill of songs (and adaptations of mazurkas!) by Chopin and Schumann, and arias from Puccini, Rossini and Dvořák.
A little more than two weeks ago she sang with her husband Roberto Alagna in the Metropolitan Opera's extraordinary livestreamed #AtHomeGala.
This is the second time that the artist has accepted an invitation from the Studio. Last summer she made her debut as Cho Cho San in Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly staged in mid-town Warsaw under the Palace of Culture, where the theatre has its home. The open-air performance, directed by Natalia Korczakowska, gathered more than 200 musicians and an audience of 2000 in Plac Defilad square.
Before her recital for Studio, Aleksandra Kurzak found time to talk to Elżbieta Krajewska.
