Manru
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manru is an opera (lyrical drama) in three acts, music by Ignacy Jan Paderewski composed to the libretto by Alfred Nossig based on the novel A Hut Behind the Village (1854) by Józef Ignacy Kraszewski.
The libretto was written in German to meet a commission from the Dresden Opera, where it was premiered on 29 May 1901. The libretto was translated to Polish by Paderewski and Stanisław Rossowski for a performance in Lwów (today Lviv) on 8 June 1901.[1]
