Peter Winter
Peter Winter, later
Peter von Winter, (baptised 28 August 1754 – 17 October 1825) was a German violinist, conductor and composer, especially of operas. He began his career as a player at the
Mannheim court, and advanced to conductor. When the court moved to Munich, he followed and later became
kapellmeister of the opera there. His opera ''
Das Labyrinth'', a sequel to Mozart's ''
Die Zauberflöte'', was premiered in Vienna in 1798, and his ''
Maometto'' at
La Scala in Milan in 1817. His work has been regarded as a bridge between
Mozart and
Weber in the development of German opera.
