Risto Savin was a pseudonym adopted by Friderik Širca, a general in the army. He studied composition with Robert Fuchs in Vienna and became notable as one of the composers of Slovenian-language opera. His opera Lepa Vida (Lovely Vida, 1907) is one of the Slovenian operas to show the influence of Wagner. The house where Risto Savin was born in Žalec is now a museum.
