Stanislaw Moniuszko's most important year was 1858, which marked the birth
of Poland's national opera - the Warsaw premiere of Moniuszko's master-work
Halka. His creative adaptation of folk melodies, heightened by his great
talent, lifted Polish morale during the period of partition. Halka was
acclaimed as a success in leading European opera houses and in 1905, in
the U.S. His other works include: The Haunted Castle, The Countess, and
The Raftsman.
