Before the festival starts, the organizers have prepared two preliminary events. On June 21 at 11:00, a family opera picnic will take place in the courtyard of the Opery Ba\u0142tyckiej.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 27 at 7:00 PM, the opera "Nied\u017awied\u017a" ("The Bear") by Lithuanian composer Bronius Kutavi\u010dius will be performed on the stage of Teatr Wybrze\u017ce \u2014 a production by the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre from Klaip\u0117da, combining a dark fairy tale, a bloody detective story, and a psychological thriller<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival, founded in 2023 by baritone Tomasz Konieczny, will this year take place under the motto "Mity, gus\u0142a i zabobony. Opowie\u015bci, kt\u00f3re buduj\u0105 wsp\u00f3lnot\u0119" \u2014 a reference to how the stories told shape national and cultural identity and organize the relationship between individuals and the community<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final artistic director of BOF once brought opera performances back to the open stage of Opery Le\u015bnej in Sopot, built in 1909 as the Theatre of Nature. According to him, he believes in the potential of this authentic and unique place and wants it to be known worldwide<\/p>\n\n\n\n
