Bareja in the Evening

Enter the unforgettable world of Stanisław Bareja with “Bareja in the Evening,” a thrilling celebration that turns the Gorzów Philharmonic Orchestra into a living film‑theatre. Under the baton of seasoned conductor Milosz Bembinow, pianist Mateusz Czarnowski and composer‑arranger Magdalena Małecka‑Wippich, the evening launches into a joyous parade of Bareja’s most iconic songs— from the nostalgic “You Were Left Alone” and the wistful “Gypsy Autumn” from *Brunet in the Evening*, through the rousing “Hey, Young Hero” and “I’m a Cheerful Romek” from *Teddy Bear*, to the bittersweet “The World Has Changed So Much” from *Marriage of Convenience*. The program also features sweeping orchestral suites inspired by films and series such as *Teddy Bear*, *Wanted*, *Alternatives 4* and, of course, *Brunet in the Evening*. Scripted, directed, and brilliantly narrated by Rafał Hajdukiewicz, the show invites the audience into a playful, interactive theatre of absurd humor, sudden plot twists, and historically‑inspired re‑enactments—a hallmark of Bareja’s beloved comedy style. The stage will host not only familiar face‑off performers like nation‑wide adored “Tradycja,” but also film critics, censors, ardent songwriters, and a host of surprise guests who embody the film’s spirit. Adding to the spectacle, Marta Uszko will serve as the charismatic “announcer and defender of Bareja,” while Barejantka Magdalena Wrani‑Stachowska underscores the tradition that keeps Bareja’s jokes alive, and Maciej Sikorski, famously known as “the man who will sing everything,” promises a vocal tour de force. The evening is designed to deliver “happy hours” of pure delight, as the director himself calls it, ensuring every fan’s mood lifts with the music. Whether you’re a long‑time devotee of Bareja’s cinema or discovering his legacy for the first time, “Bareja in the Evening” offers a vibrant, inclusive experience that showcases why his quotes and scenes have become as ingrained in Polish culture as poetry. Join the almost 300,000‑member “Bareizmy Eternally Alive” community at the Philharmonic tonight—and let the music and wit of Stanisław Bareja transport you to a joyous, timeless celebration of film, humor, and orchestra.
