Eugen Suchon (1908-1993) was one of the greatest Slovak composers and music teachers of the twentieth century. He established modern Slovak opera and drew international attention through the success of his opera work Krútňava (The Whirlpool, 1949) and contributed greatly to developing music education in its practical and theoretical aspects. Of particular significance was his second opera Král’ Svätopluk (King Svätopluk), completed in 1959. This historic opera represents the monumental dramatic fresco from the period of the Great Moravian Empire.
