Stanislaw Moniuszko (May 5, 1819 - June 4, 1872) was a Polish composer, conductor and teacher. He wrote many popular art songs and operas, and his music is filled with patriotic folk themes of the peoples of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (mainly Poles, Lithuanians and Belarusians). He is generally referred to as "the father of Polish national opera". Since the 1990s Stanislaw Moniuszko is being recognized in Belarus as an important figure of Belarusian culture.
