One important strand to the festival programme is historical performance - presenting works as they were originally heard, on period pianos in the possession of the Fryderyk Chopin Institute; Beyond this, what remains key to the concept of Chopin and His Europe are top-class performances of Polish music.

This jubilee edition will be dominated by operatic themes. During the Festival, not only the works of Moniuszko himself will be presented, but also the works that build the context for them - Polish and European artists.
