Teatr Polski celebrates 240 years of theatrical tradition in Bielsko

The Teatr Polski has premiered a new production, “Kolacja na cztery ręce” (Dinner for Four Hands), at the Sułkowski Princes Castle in Bielsko. Directed by Andrzej Malec, the play is a comedy based on a work by Paul Barz, exploring a fictional meeting between Baroque composers George Frideric Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach.

The performance takes place in the castle’s Music Salon to commemorate 240 years of theatrical tradition in Bielsko. The city’s theatrical history began when Prince Franciszek Sułkowski established a stage near the castle tower in a former brewery. To mark this anniversary, the Historical Museum in Bielsko and Teatr Polski collaborated to host the production within the historic castle interiors.
