About George Stephnescu
- George Stephanescu (13 December 1843 – 25 April 1925) was a Romanian composer, one of the main figures in Romanian national opera. Stephanescu was born and died in Bucharest.
- He graduated from the Bucharest Academy of Music.
- In 1877, Stephanescu was appointed conductor of the National Theater orchestra and Singing teacher at the Academy. While teaching the opera singers at the Academy, he aimed to gradually develop the National Theater's musical repertoire from vaudevilles to musical comedies and finally to opera.
