This article discusses the tragedic aspects of Karol Szymanowski’s 20th-century opera King Roger op. 46. The work’s dramaturgical design was crucially influenced by ancient models (especially Euripides’ The Bacchae) as well as Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of tragedy and music drama. The first part of the article presents theatrical aspects of King Roger’s tragedic character, drawing on selected stagings of this opera (by Mariusz Treliński, Krzysztof Warlikowski, and Kasper Holten), which addressed the problems of the disintegration of the world and the crisis of values. It is observed that their dramaturgy centers around the axis of references to the crisis of contemporary culture and questions about the individual’s and the community’s reactions to the threat caused by the Dionysian element. Based on an analysis of the dramatic structure of the libretto and the composer’s statements about his creative process, the author emphasizes the significance of the theatrical aspects of opera. She stresses how important it was for Szymanowski to achieve an adequate compromise within the fusion of arts and horizons, including the Dionysian and Apollonian tendencies in the work’s ideological program.

Studium dotyczy tragediowych aspektów dwudziestowiecznej opery Król Roger op. 46 Karola Szymanowskiego. Kluczowy wpływ na projekt dramaturgii dzieła miały wzorce antyczne (szczególnie Bachantki Eurypidesa) oraz koncepcja tragedii i dramatu muzycznego Friedricha Nietzschego. W pierwszej części artykułu teatralne aspekty tragizmu Króla Rogera zostały ukazane na przykładzie wybranych inscenizacji tej opery (Mariusza Trelińskiego, Krzysztofa Warlikowskiego i Kaspera Holtena), podejmujących problem rozpadu świata i kryzysu wartości. Ich główną osią dramaturgiczną okazały się odwołania do kryzysu kultury współczesnej oraz pytania o reakcje jednostki i wspólnoty na stan zagrożenia wywołany przez dionizyjski żywioł. Na podstawie analizy struktury dramatycznej libretta i wypowiedzi kompozytora o procesie twórczym uwypuklono znaczenie teatralnych aspektów opery. Podkreślono, jak istotny był według kompozytora odpowiedni kompromis w ramach fuzji sztuk i horyzontów, w tym między innymi dionizyjskich i apollińskich tendencji w programie ideowym dzieła.

From the very beginning of his artistic career Oskar Kokoschka systematically used historical, literary and mythological persons, whose figures, being recognizable in culture, facilitated the expression of his own psychological states and life experiences. The young painter, familiar with the classic works of literature, was also fascinated by music. One of his most vivid musical memories mentioned in an interview after more than half a century, was connected with his visits at the Vienna opera horse where he hare heard concerts directed by Gustav Mahler. A an especially enduring memory was that of the performance of R. Wagner’s drama Tristan und Isolde. From that time on the story of the mythical couple of lovers dominated the artist’s imagination, and after his meeting with Gustav's widow, Alma Mahler, he was able to assume a personified figure involving all the three people. As a result Kokoschka and Alma's love affair was supposed to develop according to the historical and mythical scenario of the medieval, and originally Celtic, saga. The artist first played the role of a life-guardsman seeking the favor of the patron of the Vienna cultural elite, and also seeking the hand of the inaccessible „queen” left by the dead director, „the old king”. Having won her acceptance the painter was able to be in her good graces for some time as her lover. However, a tragic turnabout, and at the same time the end of the relation, was inevitably inscribed in the process, in which the „young pretender” Kokoschka, having entered the role of the king, next had to give way to the next candidate. Stages of this symbolic process can be seen in Kokoschka’s letters as well as in his literary and visual works from the period of his relationship with Alma Mahler in the years 1912-1915, when one compares the facts from the protagonists’ lives with, among others, the medieval versions of the Tristan legend and its version composed by Wagner.
