Abstract

The article describes the figure of a soprano, Klementyna Czosnowska, one of the most prominent Polish opera singers of the 19th century, and an unsurpassed Europe-wide famous singer, Władysław Mierzwiński, called “the king of tenors”. Their buoyant musical careers entailed frequent travels to famous and renowned musical centers. The map of such artistic travels includes also two major cultural centers in Galicia: Cracow and Lviv. Both artists performed on the stages of these cities in 1880s and 1890s, offering unforgettable artistic experiences to the local audiences. The singers were greeted with great enthusiasm, and treated with deep affection and utmost respect.
