At the Roma Music Theater, the great hit musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, „Phantom of the Opera”, has reigned supreme for some time now. It is always worth seeing in order to improve your autumn mood.
At the National Museum, there is a wonderful occasion for photography lovers, because there is a great collection of Polish and world photography, from the rich collection of the Warsaw museum, which bought the first prints by Karol Bayer (1818-1877) as early as 1863.
At Galeria Zachęta there is an exhibition called „Spojrzenia” (Views), which presents the work of the most interesting young Polish artists, and the humorously titled exhibition „Siusiu w torcik” (To Pee in a Bun), which shows the gallery’s various collections that until now had not ever been presented.
Galeria Azjatycka (the Asian Gallery) at 5 Freta Street has an interesting exhibit, called „Wojownicy, piękności i demony” (Warriors, beauties, and demons), which presents wonderful Chinese theater dolls. The Asia and Pacific Museum, which Galeria Azjatycka is part of, has more than 1,500 of these dolls.
On the 6th of November, at Sala Kongresowa (the Congress Hall), there will be a performance by a famous singer and mistress of mood, Diana Krall, who has a large following of fans. While in Poland, the singer will promote her newest album, „Quiet Nights”. Diana Krall will also perform in Zabrze and Wrocław.

Of course, these are but a few of our cultural events for November days.
