Cracow. The Opera Rara 2022 festival is starting
my thoughts of you and your beauty will no longer change
From Saturday, the Opera Rara Festival invites you to rediscover what is known and known and discover what is forgotten. Culture needs new interpretations of works from the canon as much as a further expansion of the repertoire. Our thoughts about the beauty of masterpieces will not change, but by not trivializing the need for authorization that can extract from them what entitles additional people eluded.
