This year's festival in Sopot broadcast by TVN aroused many emotions. Viewers complained, among other things, about the hosts. “Replace them!” they thundered on the internet. Many artists have also come under fire for singing under their breath. The big absentee at the concert was Maryla Rodowicz. Although the event lasted four days, there was no room for even one song for the famous singer. In connection with this, the star decided to recall her 40-minute recital from the Forest Opera from years ago. “I wasn't at the festival this year, but listen to what it was like in 2005 in Sopot,” she wrote on Facebook and posted a link to the video. This sparked a discussion.
Maryla Rodowicz revealed why she did not perform at the festival in Sopot in 2024
In 2024, the Sopot stage was full of musical legends. There was, among others:in. Krystyna Prońko, Izabela Trojanowska, Margaret Ostrowska, Wanda Kwietniewska, Halina Frackowiak and Alice Majewski. Could it be that Maryla Rodowicz doesn’t want to grace this year’s event with her presence, an event she has attended countless times? Nothing could be further from the truth. “You were missed,” one of the singer's followers said under a video of her performance from 2005.
I wanted to, but they didn't invite me. Maybe it's a good thing, because I wouldn't like to sing with an orchestra, it's not my style. I wouldn't agree to sing covers, songs by other artists, because I have enough of my own.
– she replied Maryla Rodowicz on Facebook.
