Virtuosos at the Royal Court: From Mozart to Strauss!

Royal Concert – Majestic Classics, titled “Virtuosos at the Royal Court: From Mozart to Strauss!”, will take place at the Jeleniogórskie Centrum Kultury in Jelenia Góra. The Royal Symphony Ensemble and soloists from the Maestri di Corte group will perform. The program combines music associated with royal courts, balls, and the opera stage.

The repertoire includes waltzes, czardas, and tarantellas, opera arias about love, passion, and drama, and light, playful touches in a classical setting. The concert will close with the Radetzky March. Works by Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Verdi, Puccini, and Strauss will be performed.

Among the soloists of Maestri di Corte is Krzysztof Knapczyk, a tenor, actor, and vocalist. He is a member of the ensembles “Pop Opera – From Opera to Musical,” “Queen Symphonically,” and “The Beatles Symphonically.” He has performed in Greece, Germany, and the United States, and his original project “Opera on the Street” has visited major cities around the world.
