Freddie Mercury Rock-Opera

About the event

A new, extraordinary take on the songs of Queen's exceptional vocalist. The songs of one of the world's most popular rock singers have been uniquely arranged for opera singers and a string quartet. Inspired by 19th-century salon concerts, when classical music was considered entertainment, the concerts take place in the most beautiful historical halls and palaces in Poland. Hence, in addition to Mercury's songs, there will also be excerpts of music composed for aristocrats and kings by G. F. Handel. Due to Freddie's heritage, traditional Indian music will also be featured in an amazing arrangement for a string quartet. Freddie Mercury was a star of his time, akin to Farinelli in the 18th century. Elegant halls and large audiences connected both artists despite the time difference. Mercury was fascinated by opera singing, as evidenced by his collaboration with opera singer Montserrat Caballé. Freddie's songs will resonate in exclusive interiors with incredible acoustics, creating a concert atmosphere for a highly sophisticated audience. The concerts are inspired by the Freddie Mercury Rock-Opera project, which premiered in 2013 at the Słowacki Theatre in Krakow and was performed on stages across Europe. Now, in a new form, it is part of a European concert tour in 2025, visiting cities such as Berlin, Rome, Paris, Milan, Prague, and Vienna. This time, Queen's songs will be performed in an intimate, acoustic manner illuminated by candlelight, showcasing innovative arrangements and an exceptional ensemble of musicians from the Italian association Opera da Camera di Roma. For the first time in Poland, an extraordinary concert with unique impressions worth admiring. - Acoustic concert - Italian opera artists - Classical string quartet - Innovative opera arrangements - Exclusive concert venues - Limited number of seats - Unique acoustics - One-of-a-kind atmosphere Program: - G.F.
