What to do and see in Gdansk, Northern Poland: The Best Concerts & Shows
One of Poland’s most beautiful cities, Gdansk, on the Baltic Sea, has played major roles in history, especially in the 20th-century. It was the 1939 flash point of World War II, and then in 1980, the birthplace of the Solidarnosc labor movement, ushering the end of Communist domination in Eastern Europe. Gdansk’s Old Town, painstakingly reconstructed to its Hanseatic League glory after being leveled in World War II, is a highlight. The 14th-century Town Hall houses the city’s historical museum.

Never seen an opera before, even with English surtitles. I was trying to look for something to do on a quiet Sunday evening and found that this Opera House was performing La Traviata - which I’d heard was a very good opera for beginners to see. Even with the Polish surtitles, it was simple to follow some form of plot through the incredible ability of all on stage. The programme also contained an English act-by-act synopsis which helped greatly too! Most of the staff I encountered didn’t know any or much English, but we were all very patient to ensure that we were able to understand the jist of the conversations.

Shakespeare in Gdańsk? If you’re wondering what to do in Gdańsk, we’ll help you out with this tip – one of the most interesting local attractions is The Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre.

It is here where English players presented William Shakespeare’s plays, already during his own lifetime. Nowadays, one of the most extraordinary and modern theatres in the world is located here. Its wooden frame is a reconstruction of the former Elizabethan – in style theatre in Gdańsk. Certainly, you will not pass indifferently by the theater building – it is distinguished by the dark anthracite bricks, is covered and with a huge opening roof, which allows to stage performances also in daylight.

Bruderschaft started operating in 2012. Since then lots of jazz, blues, funky, and rock concerts were organised there. These days, in Bruder concerts are cyclical events and it’s worth showing up every Wednesday evening on time to listen to some live jazz music. It’s our ritual. Apart from concerts we also organise exhibitions of Tricity artists – painters, graphic artists, photographers.
