Operatic and musical New Year’s Eve gala

We are about to go on a daring musical escapade throughout the most musical streets in the world. We will visit New York’s Upper West Side (“West Side Story”) and Broadway (“Funny Girl”), we will see noisy Los Angeles (“La La Land”) or dancing Chicago (“Chicago”). We will be travelling through London of the 19th century (“Jekyll & Hyde”), Edwardian era (“My Fair Lady”), and interwar period (“Top Hat”). We will find ourselves in Verona (“Roméo et Juliette”), Vienna (“Die Fledermaus”), Budapest (“Die Csárdásfürstin”), Granada (“Granada”), and even Judea (“Life of Brian”). We will not forget about Spain (“Man of La Mancha”) or Germany (“Faust”). Finally we will fly over fairytale lands of “Cats,” “Frozen,” “Beauty and the Beast,” or “The Wizard of Oz.” The Podlasie Opera and Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Mirosław Jacek Błaszczyk and together with amazing soloists would love to invite you on a journey full of different sounds and tastes, on which we will travel through cities and metropolises. Let us spend together that exceptional last night of 2019 and meet the New Year in the Podlasie Opera and Philharmonic, listening to the greatest hits of operatic and musical scene.

Of course, that’s not all we have prepared for you. What would a New Year’s Eve be without a night ball? So let us also invite you to a ball “All-dancing Odeska with a taste of modern Russian cuisine.” It shall start around 11 PM and will end at 4 AM. In the spacious foyer at Odeska, an extraordinary culinary feast and dance hits will await you: we will provide live music performed by our soloists mixed with some favourites from a DJ’s console. There’s a special menu for that night featuring modern Russian cuisine.

If you want to spend the night with us both on the concert and the ball, we have great news! In the interest of the participants of the ball, we have set aside a pool of tickets for the concert at 8.30 PM. We invite you to the box office to get your ticket!

The cost of the ball is 300 PLN per person and the number of tickets is limited. They are available for purchasing only in the box office, and while purchasing the customer shall choose a table number. There is also a possibility to book a whole round table for 10 persons.
