Professor Michał Bristiger notes that Tomasz Cyz leads the reader into a space populated by opera characters close to him, who become close to us as well. He thoroughly questions Phaedra about her hidden affairs and the Bacchantes about the reasons for killing Orpheus. The book, distinguished with the Cultural Foundation Award, becomes a guide to the musical sphere, leading us by the hand and whispering: "La ci darem la mano".

For the opera house, it is not important whether Verdi's Otello has anything to do with Wagner's musical dramas. The theater should forget about certain contexts, focusing on the outlines of words and music, which best suggest and build situations, conditions, and spaces. On stage, the theater should envy the music, but in such a way as not to cause tragedy.

Tomasz Cyz emphasizes that music is madness, but even greater madness is music performed beautifully, and theater perfectly composed and played. Then nothing more is needed. Not even Puck can add anything. One can only finish writing and start anew, listen or watch, love. The book "Arioso" is an invitation to this madness, to immerse yourself in a world of sounds and images that move and inspire.

Discover how music and theater intertwine into an extraordinary whole, creating unforgettable emotions and experiences. Let yourself be carried away on a journey through opera stages and music salons, where every sound and gesture has its meaning. Reach for "Arioso" and let yourself be enchanted by the magic of art.
