Leopold Eugen Měchura

Leopold Eugen Měchura, Template:Lang-de (February 2, 1804, Prague, Bohemia, Imperial Austria – February 11, 1870, [[{{{1}}}]] [], near Klattau (Template:Lang-cs), Bohemia) was a Czech composer.

Měchura studied law at the Charles University in Prague, as well as piano and music theory.

He then moved to Otín, beginning his service as town justice in Klatovy. There he continued performing, both privately and in public, as well as composing. He composed many vocal pieces, and wrote church music as well; his operas took either Czech or German texts. Měchura's best-known work was the opera Marie Potocká, after a poem by Alexander Pushkin, which was premiered posthumously in 1871 at the National Theatre, Prague under the baton of Bedřich Smetana.
