Summary/Abstract: Monika Pasiecznik reviews the operas Requiem dla ikony (Requiem for an icon) and Voyager directed by Michał Borczuch (Teatr Wielki – Opera Narodowa, prem. 22 May 2015) created as part of Project “P”. The author notes that Głowicka's and Kupczak's music is colourful, but conventional in terms of dramaturgy. She criticises the director for a staging that is too simple and too static, focused on a literal presentation of the contents of the operas. Pasiecznik also sums up the whole project, showing the points at which it led to mistakes and failed performances. However, she emphasises that it was an experiment which can – after a thorough analysis – lead to interesting conclusions. She also points out the publicity which it brought to the opera and the renewed animation of discussions concerning musical ventures.
