Opera Małuszka - Silenced Sounds

And I don't want to sleep I prefer to be scared Instead of going under the blanket I prefer to look into the night And I don't want to sleep Dorota Gellner

Where do dreams hide on a cold winter night? Maybe they need a lullaby? Or sounds that envelop like a down quilt? Or maybe... hop! They jump out the window right into the children's room and start the night squabbles on the carpet?

The muffled sounds are a spectacle between waking and sleeping, an invitation to the world of children's rituals and fantastic adventures. In a dream, silver fairies can visit us, and a lullaby sometimes means falling asleep and lulling, and sometimes it is the perfect excuse for a crazy evening concert. Before going to bed, we will still check whether the pillow can be a spaceship and what kind of mysterious figure lurks behind the curtain?

And once we fall asleep, magical dreams will flow on the blue and pink clouds. And then they will sing to us and tell us the most beautiful fairy tales.

The play was created in the style of the Gordon Najny Theatre. This means that we build a safe, friendly space in which sound, silence, improvised movement immerse small listeners in musical rhythmic and tonal diversity, and also give space for breathing and free, spontaneous reactions of the audience.

Opera Maluszka is a unique musical project aimed at the youngest audience — children from 0 to 4 years old. The meetings are based, among others, on E. E. Gordon's Theory of Music Learning. Parents, along with their children, play with invited artists to live music. Together we sing and listen to music in a variety of scales and meters, and with the help of interesting scenography, props, costumes and sensory tools, we create a space for experiencing art in many senses.

During the 40-minute meetings, we invite you to participate in a variety of musical activities, adapted to the needs and possibilities of the little ones, to develop their musical abilities, imagination and support their general development. Each meeting is a great joy of family music, as well as supporting the development of the child in the cognitive, emotional and social spheres. We provide an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

In the 2026/2027 season, we propose two titles: Utulone ki and Zagraj w couleurs.
