Der Bärenhäuter (opera)

Der Bärenhäuter is an 1899 German-language opera by Siegfried Wagner based on the German folk tale Der Bärenhäuter, or the Bearskin man.[1] As with most of Siegfried Wagner's opera's it is more influenced by his teacher Humperdinck than his father Richard Wagner's operas.[2]
