This week Jordan was at the centre of one of European music’s most significant first nights of the decade. On Tuesday he conducted Verdi’s Don Carlos at Paris’s Opéra Bastille, with an exceptional cast including tenor Jonas Kaufmann in the title role and the three outstanding performers of the evening, Sonya Yoncheva as Elizabeth, Elina Garanca as Eboli and Ludovic Tézier as Posa.

Born in 1962 in Szczecin (Poland), theater and opera director.

He studied philosophy and history at the Jagiellonian University of Krakow, then turned to the studies of Greek theater and staging.

Quickly, he became Peter Brook’s and Krystian Lupa’s assistant. His life is marked by important meetings, notably with Ingmar Bergman, Giorgio Strehler or Gerard Mortier, about whom he speaks in this interview.

Warlikowski began his career as a director in 1993 at the Stary Teatr in Krakow, where he directed The Marquise of O ... by Heinrich von Kleist. Subsequent performances are mounted in various notable theaters in Poland and Europe, including the Festival d'Avignon, where he presented Kabaret Warszawski in 2013. It was praised both by the French and European public and critics.

Among the awards obtained, you can find the Europe Prize of New Theatrical Realities (2008), and his nomination as Commander of Arts and Letters in France (2013).

Since 2008 he is the director of Nowy Teatr in Warsaw.

Warlikowski is both alert and restless - with his sad and beautifully lucid eyes. This is not the first time we have met, but today something is different. We are in the restaurant of the Théâtre de la Place in Liege, newly refurbished. He looks tired. What he says - it is in March - illuminates the current affairs, political news or the unspoken truths, creeping in people’s heads. He gives some keys to his profession but also speaks about his feelings, in light of his Polish origins, with regard to a country moving forward, but seemingly still stuck in the muddy and often sad history of a great solitaire. He speaks about Poland, but it strangely resonates about all other European countries which lately only seem to exist through the need to save their economies.

Warlikowski is almost frightening in his lucidity, especially through his plays and operas. Especially through creating links between reality and myth. It is one of the few men in European theater to lead a troop living virtually together due to the Nowy Teatr in Warsaw. Even if his theatre is either political or apolitical, it becomes political on the stage, through the interpretation of the actors.

He also does not hesitate to radically change or readapt a play to both internal and external needs.

He explains all of this here.

Jonas Kaufmann⭐"Sie lieben ihn, sie feiern ihn"

Als Deutscher in diesem Land glaube ich hat man das nicht so oft, dass man so geehrt wird" sagte Jonas Kaufmann. Selbst die Politprominenz war aus Rom gekommen, um ihn zu feiern, "denn so etwas hört man nicht alle Tage".
