They find them in compositions by Handel, such as Belshazzar, Ariodante, Semele, Hercules, Theodora, Rodelinda, Tamerlano and Alcina.

Nowy Proxima Theatre
ul. Krakowska 41
The Nowy promotes young artists and contemporary drama. Its repertoire features controversial productions, boldly breaking taboos and discussing contemporary problems.
The only private repertoire theatre was set up in 2006 thanks to Piotr Sieklucki. It promotes not only contemporary dramas and young artists but also runs artistic projects with educational attributes championing community cohesion, for example by activating the elderly (Nowy Wiek Kultury 50+ / New Age of Culture 50+). It also addresses and counteracts the problem of exclusion, e.g. by involving patients of a lunatic asylum in its productions. The subjects brought to the stage by the Nowy (i.e. New) Theatre often boldly touch upon the problems of the contemporary world, never shunning controversial or taboo-breaking subjects.
