Leon Schiller or Leon Schiller de Schildenfeld (14 March 1887 - 25 March 1954) was a Polish theatre and film director, as well as critic and theatre theoretician. He also wrote theatre and radio screenplays and composed music. He was born in Kraków (then Krakau) under the Austrian rule during the foreign Partitions of Poland, to a family of Austrian origin that had been ennobled by Empress Maria Theresa. Schiller became famous for his 1934 staging of Adam Mickiewicz's ''Dziady'' at Warsaw's ''Teatr Polski'' (Polish Theatre). This was also presented in Lwów (now Lviv; 1932), Wilno (now Vilnius; 1933) as well as in Sofia in Bulgaria (1937). == Career == Schiller graduated from Kraków's Jagiellonian University in philosophy and Polish literature. He also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. He debuted as a singer in Kraków's ''Zielony Balonik'' (Green Balloon) cabaret (1906) and as theater director in Warsaw's Polish Theatre (''Teatr Polski'', 1917). He served as artistic director of Ateneum Theatre (1932–34), raising its reputation as one of the leading voices for Poland's new intelligentsia in the interwar period. Schiller collaborated with the following Warsaw theatres: * ''Teatr Wielki'' (Great Theater) * ''Teatr Rozmaitości'' (Variety Theater in Warsaw) * ''Teatr Mały'' (Little Theater) * ''Teatr Polski'' (Polish Theater) * ''Teatr Reduta'' (Redoubt Theater) * ''Teatr Ateneum'' (Ateneum Theatre). He also collaborated with theaters in Łódź and Lwów (now Lviv). From 1930 to 1932, he was artistic and drama director of Warsaw's ''Wielki'' (Great), ''Rozmaitości'' (Variety), and ''Mały'' (Little) Theaters. In Lwów he developed his own concept of "monumental theatre," pertaining to the production of great Romantic works: ''Kordian'' (1930), ''Dziady'' (Forefathers' Eve, 1932) and ''Sen Srebrny Salomei'' (Salomea's Silver Dream, 1932). Schiller's connection with Lwów lasted sporadically until 1939. His directorial work included 29 dramas and some dozen vaudeville and operetta productions. In 1933 he headed the directorial department at the National Theater Arts Institute. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leon Schiller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
