Polish Television viewers could not complain about the wide range of cultural events, and one of the “jewels in the crown” was, of course, the National Festival of Polish Song in Opole. However, it cannot be denied that he also failed to “avoid” censorship. Some of the audience and people involved in the creation of the event accused the TVP authorities of not inviting artists who were unfavorable to the then authorities. In the face of rapid changes at the public broadcaster, the president of Opole, Arkadiusz Wiśniewski, spoke out. You will find more interesting texts on the home page.
“Festival of change” – without politics, but with young people. Old throwback?
“As the president of Opole, I declare my willingness to quickly meet with the new TVP authorities and talk about the new opening of the Festival. Finally, KFPP is to be a musical event that follows new trends in Polish music. Hip-hop and alternative music should permanently appear in the Festival program, because this is what generations of modern Poles want to hear today. At the same time, KFPP is the most important music event in Poland that cares for the tradition of Polish song […]. However, it is time for the artists who conquer the charts and the hearts of new generations of listeners to appear again at the National Polish Song Festival. The cabareton, which has not been seen on the stage of the Amphitheater for a long time, should return to the Festival program,” said the mayor of Opole on Facebook.
He then added that “First of all, the Festival should finally be free from politics, but also from people who, in the name of revenge, will exclude certain artists due to political sympathies. Today, I am inviting singers, songwriters and the entire musical community to next year’s 61st National Festival of Polish Song in Opole. Does this mean the return of the old standards prevailing during the Polish song festival?
Festival fans delighted. They want the former “Opole”
Internet users support the idea of changing the president and are looking forward to a return to the Opole amphitheater in the haze of apoliticality and the throwing off of the propaganda “mask” that they have felt in recent years. You can clearly feel the enthusiasm accompanying the return of Kabaret. “Finally, you can create a good festival, not a caricature of the festival”, “Mr. President, keep it up, the festival is us, not politicians” – these are just some of the comments under his entry.
