Sažetak
In the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth’s fi rst public theatre, operating in Warsaw during the reign of Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowski, numerous stage works were perform ed in the years 1765-1767 and 1774-1794: Italian, French, German, and Polish operas as well ballets, while public concerts, organised at the Warsaw theatre from the mid-1770s, featured dozens of instrumental works including symphonies, overtures, concertos, variations as well as vocal-instrumental works - oratorios, opera arias and ensembles, cantatas, and so forth. The author analyses the manuscript catalogues of those scores (sheet music did not survive) held at the Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych in Warsaw (Pl-Wagad), in the Archive of Prince Joseph Poniatowski and Maria Teresa Tyszkiewicz-Poniatowska. They were written in French in 1797 and completed by later revisions of the collections, in 1808, 1814 and 1827. Although not all material was entered into the catalogue, the total number of works is impressive: it included 245 staged Italian, French, German, and Polish operas and a further 61 operas listed in the catalogues, as well as 106 documented ballets and another 47 catalogued ones. Amongst operas, Italian ones were most popular with 102 documented and 20 archived titles (totalling 122 works), followed by Polish (including translations of foreign works) with 58 and 1 titles respectively; French with 44 and 34 (totalling 78 compositions), and German operas with 41 and 6 works, respectively.
