Lucifer's Palace
Lucifer's Palace — Polish opera in 4 acts by Karol Kurpiński. Libretto was written by Alojzy Żółkowski, based on Joseph-Marie Loaisel de Tréogate's play Le château du diable published in 1792. The opera was staged for the first time on 9 November 1811 in Warsaw.
Parts of the libretto were published in Roczniki Teatru Narodowego 1811-1812. Though no part of the opera was published during Kurpiński's life, it has completely survived in full score.
