Lodz Grand Theatre will be hosting tonight the world premiere of LA TOISON D’OR – long lost opera which was recently found thanks to the efforts of Andrzej Wendland and the rest of the Tansman Festival team. LA TOISON D’OR was composed in 1938 by Alexandre Tansman – world famous and admired composer neglected in Poland because of his descent, talent and sense of style. The world premiere of LA TOISON D’OR was acknowledged by the British magazine Opera as one of the most awaited opera productions of December 2016.
