The most famous Polish mezzo-soprano – as some call Węgorzewska – was already faced with the first accusations of mistreatment of employees around 2013. The tabloids then picked up on the case.
In the cover story of the latest “Newsweek” we described the behind-the-scenes work of the Warsaw Chamber Opera, directed by the famous Polish singer Alicja Węgorzewska-Whiskerd. It turns out that when listeners are enchanted by the music in the audience of the Warsaw Chamber Opera, ambulances rush to the theater. WOK employees say that working at the opera is chaos and a constant life dictated by the director’s whim. There is not only a good atmosphere here, but also a basic loyalty. People end up in the hospital or turned away by psychiatrists.
We present the artist’s biography and ask ourselves which Węgorzewska is the real one. The one who is merciless with her employees or the one whose decisions move the participants and viewers of “The Voice Senior”?
