Kalmora

Kalmora, or The Paternal Right of the Americans[1] (Polish: Kalmora, czyli prawo ojcowskie Amerykanów) is a Polish-language opera (melodrama) in 2 acts by Karol Kurpiński. The libretto was written by Kazimierz Brodziński. Its first performance took place on 10 March 1820.[2][3]

The complete score of the overture was published by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig in 1825 or 1826[4] as Kurpiński's Opus 14. The complete score of the whole opera (or at least some parts) is located in the library of the Warsaw Music Society Stanisław Moniuszko [pl].[1]
