The National Philharmonic Orchestra
Architect Karol Kozłowski designed the National Philharmonic Orchestra. An assembly of Polish financiers and aristocrats, along with musicians, took the initiative to create the orchestra. On November 5th, 1901, the Philharmonic held its first concert, which featured compositions by Polish composers. Emil Młynarski led the orchestra, with Wiktor Grąbczewski on bass and Ignacy Jan Paderewski, a renowned pianist, composer, and aspiring politician, serving as soloists. The orchestra experienced both an eclipse and the loss of half of its musicians due to the Second World War, as well as the exquisite edifice that Karol Kozłowski had constructed around the turn of the 20th century, modelling it after the Paris Opera. The orchestra recommenced its regular season in 1947, but its house was not renovated until 1955, albeit in a different design. The Philharmonic was proclaimed the National Orchestra of Poland on February 21, the day the edifice was consecrated.
Grand Theatre In Warsaw
Located on the famed Theatre Square in the heart of Warsaw, Poland, lies the Grand Theatre in Warsaw, also known as the Great Theatre of National Opera. The Polish National Ballet performs at the Warsaw Grand Theatre, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people in seats. Inaugurated on February 24, 1833, the Warsaw Grand Theatre presented Rossini's The Barber of Seville. The structure was closed for more than 20 years before it was repaired and reopened on November 19, 1965, following its bombing and near-total destruction during World War II. Antonio Corazzi and Christopher Piotr Aigner, two architects, created the original structure in a neoclassical style. Bohdan Pniewski then repaired it.
