Manru

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.
