WINTER, PETER (c. 1755-1825) ,
German
  dramatic composer,
as born at
Mannheim
  about 1755. He received some instruction from the Abt
Vogler
 , but was practically self-taught. After playing in the Kapelle of the Elector Karl Theodor, at
Munich
 , he became in 1776 director of the
court
  theatre. When
Mozart produced his Idomeneo at
Munich
  in 1781, Winter, annoyed at his success, conceived a violent hatred for him; yet of more than thirty operas written by Winter between 1778 and 182o very few were unsuccessful. His most popular
work
 , Das unterbrochene Opferfest, was produced in 1796 at Vienna, where in 17971798 he composed Die Pyramiden von Babylon and Das Labyrinth, both written for him by Schickaneder in continuation of the story of Mozart's Zauberflote. He returr.ad to Munich in 1798. Five years later he visited London, where he produced
Calypso
  in 1803, Proserpina in 1804, and Zaira in 18o5, with
great
  success. His last opera,
Sanger
  and Schneider, was produced in 182o at Munich, where he died on the 17th of October 1825. Besides his dramatic works he composed some effective sacred music, including twenty-six masses.
