Summary/Abstract: Since 2012, the International Opera Awards in London have annually promoted opera around the world. In the category “Rediscovered Work of the Year” for 2017, Władysław Żeleński stood out among the names of Umberto Giordano and Gaetano Donizetti. Staged by the Warsaw National Theatre, his second opera “Goplana” with a libretto based on the fairy-tale-fantasy drama by his famous compatriot and writer Juliusz Słowacki, drew attention to the life and work of this Polish composer from the Romantic era.
