Era of the Lake

The musical Era of the Lake is a folklore-inspired spectacle, combining past and present with references to tradition and local folklore. The characters from the legends of Warmia meet there with the former, hard-working inhabitants of Warmia and Mazury in logging and fishing. The composer, Tomasz Szymuś, together with the songwriter, Daniel Wyszogrodzki, created melodic, catchy musical songs, which make no musical reference to folk artistic creativity, but are full of charming melodies and group scenes, such as the impressive choir of lumberjacks that opens the musical or the charming title song Era of the Lake, which is accompanied on stage by dances of nymphs (in Polish: rusałki). Such attempts to combine the musical genre attractive to a wide audience with fairy-tale and folklore content is one of the best ways to convey forgotten stories. And a good song will stay in your heart forever.
