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. Provided by Wikipedia
