The Magnificent Mazowsze whirls, leaps, stamps and glides in a glorious outpouring of motion, rhythm and music celebrating the rich cultural legacy of Poland. This incomparable troupe is a thrilling kaleidoscope of dazzling movement, vibrant color and stunning beauty. An ensemble of 90 dancers, musicians and singers are arrayed in a seemingly endless series of handmade traditional costumes more than 1,000 in total, each one more dramatic and colorful than the next. The choreography and musical arrangements represent 39 regions of Poland with traditional performance styles. A full 23-member orchestra performs music ranging from Chopin to simple folk melodies beloved for centuries.
