---
Polish composer and librettist. Around 1780 he lived at Nieśwież, the
house of Karol Radziwiłł, governor of Vilnius Province, who maintained a
company of actors, musicians and dancers there and at his estates in
Alba, Ołyka, Słuck, Biała and elsewhere. At Nieśwież Radziwiłł wrote the
libretto (MS in PL-Wn) for J.D. Holland's opera Agatka, czyli Przyjazd
pana (‘Agatha, or The Master's Arrival’), performed on 17 September 1784
during King Stanisław August's visit to Nieśwież. He also wrote the
libretto (MS in Zieliński Library, Płock) and presumably the music for
the three-act opera Wójt osady albiańskiej (‘The Headman of the Settlers
at Alba’). Radziwiłł became castellan of Vilnius Province in 1788 and
moved to the town of Vilnius where he composed some instrumental and
orchestral music.
