Vatroslav Lisinski (, 8 July 1819 â 31 May 1854) was a Croatian composer.
Lisinski was born Ignatius Fuchs to a German Jewish family. He would later change his name to Vatroslav Lisinski, which is a Croatian calque of his original name. For a time he worked as a clerk at the Tabula Banalis in Zagreb.
Lisinski composed the first Croatian opera, Love and Malice (1846), which he wrote at the urging of Alberto Ognjen à  triga, and Porin (1851) as well as numerous works for orchestra, choir and soloists.
He was also one of the founders of Illyrism, a movement that advocated the importance of Croatian and more generally South Slavic cultural heritage, as a reaction to Magyarisation during the Austro-Hungarian rule.
Lisinski died in Zagreb on 31 May 1854 and was buried at the Mirogoj Cemetery.
In 1944, Oktavijan MiletiÃÂ directed a movie about him, Lisinski (film). The Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall was named after him in 1973.
The international train EN 498/499 connecting Zagreb and Munich is named Lisinski, after the composer.
