Born in Breslau, Adolf Gustaw Sonnenfeld studied music in Germany before settling permanently in Warsaw in 1857. Sonnenfeld composed music for popular theaters and dance halls in Warsaw, and in 1867, he formed the Warsaw Orchestra, which toured the region performing popular music. In addition to his significant body of popular music, he composed five operas, six operettas, and the ballet Pan Twardowski (1874).
One of the most striking changes in European Jewish culture toward the later eighteenth century was marked by the entry of Jews into art music, opera houses, and the stage.
