on Symphony Orchestra. The opera is allegorical in character, illustrating the stupidity of mankind in failing to recognize true loyalty when it appears to them in disguise. It is a human little story, full of pathos, humor and tenderness, and no one could have given it the gentle, sympathetic touch better than Humperdinck. The story tells of a Goose Girl who lives with an old Witch in the hills above the town of Hellabrunn. A poorly-dressed youth comes out of the woods and tells the Goose Girl of his wanderings. He is in reality the King's Son, but the girl does not know this. The boy falls in love with the beautiful maiden, and asks her to go maying with him through the summerland. The girl longs to run off with him, but finds her feet glued to the ground.

Königskinder (Oper)

Königskinder ist eine Oper in drei Akten von Engelbert Humperdinck. Das Libretto stammt von Elsa Bernstein; sie schrieb es unter ihrem Pseudonym Ernst Rosmer. Die Uraufführung der ersten Fassung als Melodram fand mit Erfolg am 23. Januar 1897 am Münchener Hoftheater statt. Da das Werk jedoch nach der ersten erfolgreichen Saison kaum ins Repertoire anderer Opernhäuser übernommen wurde, überarbeitete es Humperdinck in den Jahren 1907 bis 1910 eingehend als Oper; er vereinfachte dabei auch die Handlung. Am 28. Dezember 1910 wurde die überarbeitete Fassung in New York an der Metropolitan Opera unter der Leitung von Alfred Hertz uraufgeführt. .. weiterlesen
