from a famous traditional singer, Niculae Chioru.
At the age of 5-6, he had already begun to compose

Vila a fost construita între anii 1923-1926, de
arhitectul Radu Dudescu, din banii adu?i de
activitatea concertistica a maestrului. Realizata
într-un stil autentic românesc, ?i integrata
armonios în ambian?a inspiratoare a mun?ilor
Bucegi, vila Lumini? avea sa fie atât un loc de
inspira?ie pentru o parte semnificativa a
crea?iei enesciene, cât ?i un loc de recreere,
maestrul locuind aici timp de 20 de ani, între
1926 ?i 1946 The musician build this house, in
1923-1926, with the money he had earned during
his first tour in America the house followed the
plan designed by the musician himself, with the
aid of architect Radu Dudescu and it was named
Vila Luminis (Glade Villa). The following 20
years, until 1946 when he definitively left

In 1947, Enescu, who was living in Paris, donated
the villa to the Romanian state, to be used as a
place of creation and recreation for artists. In
1995, the villa was opened as George Enescu
Memorial House and since 2007 it has become a
department of George Enescu National Museum

The town of Sinaia and Luminis Villa held a
special significance for Enescu, who considered
them his places of refuge. Enescu was both
sentimentally and professionally connected to
this town, mainly due to Queen Elisabeth's
support of his musical career. Relatively
isolated among the Bucegi Mountains, Luminis
Villa become his main retreat. The villa is
furnished and decorated with elements from
both Romanian and Asian cultures.
Vila nu a fost construita întamplator la Sinaia,
deoarece Enescu a fost legat atât sentimental cât
si profesional de acest oras, datorita
sprijinului reginei Elisabeta, Castelul Peles
fiind pentru el o poarta de lansare în lumea
culturala muzicala a momentului. Legatura dintre
George Enescu si Casa Regala a României a început
în anul 1898, dupa succesul parizian al opusului
sau nr. 1, Poema Româna, ce se încheia cu Imnul
Regal. El s-a bucurat de sprijinul Reginei
Elisabeta, cunoscuta si sub pseudonimul artistic
Carmen Sylva. Aceasta, recunoscând talentul
tânarului muzician, i-a oferit ani de-a rândul o
camera într-un colt intim al Castelului Peles,
unde sa poata studia. De asemenea, Enescu era
deseori invitat de regina pentru a sustine
recitaluri la Palat.
Being a romantic and classical by instinct, I
strived to keep, in all my works, a kind of
balance that has its inner definite line

In the years 1921-1931 Enescu was working on
Oedipus Opera, a monumental dramatic and musical
creation, which only in recent years started to
impose itself on scenes of opera houses in the
world. He dedicated it to Mrs. Tescanu Mary
Rosetti (formerly Cantacuzino), which he will
marry later. This was one of the ladies of honor
of the Queen Mary. George Enescu's great love was
and remained until the last moments of his life,
Maria Cantacuzino. Premiere of the opera Oedipus
took place in Paris on March 13, 1936 and enjoyed
immediate success.  Celebra opera Oedip a lui
George Enescu, considerata una dintre cele mai
mari capodopere ale culturii românesti, a fost
finalizata pe 27 aprilie 1931, când dupa o munca
de aproape un deceniu, Enescu termina
orchestratia operei dedicate celei care ulterior
îi va deveni sotie, Maria Tescanu Rosetti (fosta
Cantacuzino). Premiera operei Oedip a avut loc la
Paris pe 13 martie 1936 si s-a bucurat de un
succes imediat
