Mariusz Treliński

Extraordinary, oblique, ambiguous: these are words that describe the productions of Mariusz Treliński (b. 1962), stage director and artistic director of the Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera. In his productions he combines the beauty of classical music with contemporary interpretation and modern aesthetics, conducting a dialogue with opera convention and dismantling clichés in each and every project. He brings the emotions recorded in the libretto into the contemporary world – disturbing, symbolic, without any easy answers. His productions have been shown to the most demanding audiences, from Berlin, Paris, Brussels, to Los Angeles, Washington, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, and Muscat in Oman.
