Manru

Manru
The American premiere (sung in English) took place on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House on February 14, 1902, with the debut of Alexander von Bandrowski in the title role, Walter Damrosch conducting (good friend of the composer). The opera initially received an enthusiastic reception, with the premiere being marked as "one of high distinction." Nevertheless, predominantly due to a badly written libretto, it received only 9 performances in the season 1901/1902 (of which 4 performances were staged in New York City) and was never revived there since.

Manru remains to this day the only Polish opera ever presented at The Metropolitan Opera.
