Antonín Dvořák composed his oratorio Saint Ludmila (Czech: Svatá Ludmila) for soloists, choir and orchestra, between September 1885 and May 1886. The oratorio (Op. 71, B. 144) was written to a text by the leading Czech poet and writer Jaroslav Vrchlický. Saint Ludmila is Dvořák’s third oratorio, and is considered one of his foremost works.
