About Grete Minde
Grete Minde is an opera by composer Eugen Engel on a libretto by the Magdeburg author and radio pioneer Hans Bodenstedt, based on the novella by Theodor Fontane. Engel, who made a living as a textile tradesman, entrusted his manuscript score to his daughter when she escaped to the United States in 1941. The composer was murdered in the Sobibor extermination camp in 1943. Both composer and work were forgotten until director Anna Skryleva was introduced to the opera in 2019. The Opera is written is a style similar to Humperdinck with melodic arias and large choral scenes.
