Abstract: This article is dedicated to the debut and early stage career of Janina Korolewicz-Wayda. The artist made her debut at the Lviv Opera as Hanna in Moniuszko’s “The Haunted Manor” (1894), and she first appeared on the stage of the Warsaw Grand Theatre as Amina in Bellini’s “La sonnambula” (1897). During the opening of the Lviv Grand Theatre, she performed the role of Bronka in Żeleński’s “Jontek” (1900), and it was also on this stage that she first sang the role of Halka in Moniuszko’s opera, a role she cherished throughout her life. Initially, she sang coloratura parts, then lyrical and dramatic ones. The initial reviews of her performances were varied, but with each season, critics increasingly appreciated her vocal and acting talent, and in later years, they only wrote about Janina Korolewicz-Wayda’s great artistry
