The orchestra is one of the basic artistic ensembles of the Baltic Opera in Gdańsk, and although it performs extremely rarely on the stage – unlike soloists, choir and ballet – it is always the musical foundation of the performance. Regardless of it’s name and affiliation, the Orchestra has been co-creating from the very beginning all the most beautiful performances first exhibited by the Music and Dramatic Studio with the premiere of Eugeniusz Onegin by Piotr Czajkowski from 1950, then by the Baltic State Opera and Philharmonic to the Baltic Opera in Gdańsk.
The orchestra participated in such successes of the Gdańsk Opera as recognition of Giuseppe Verdi's staging of Nabucco in 1986 for the best foreign performance presented on German stages, awarding the French Orphée du Prestige Lyrique de l'Europe de l'Academie du Disque Lyrique for Elżbieta Sikora’s Madame Curie DVD in 2013, recognition in 2014 for the implementation of Ubu Rex by Krzysztof Penderecki for the best performance of the year by the jury of the Award of Jan Kiepura and many others.
