The well-known fairy tale based on the Brothers Grimm is a story for young and old. Adelheid Wette, the sister of the composer Engelbert Humperdinck, originally wrote a theatrical version of the fairy tale for a private performance. Since this performance brought in a lot of praise, Humperdinck decided to make an entire opera out of it, which finally premiered in Weimar in 1893, also with great success. Although Humperdinck's setting is a through-composed opera, it can be considered a family-friendly and popular children's opera. Humperdinck included some lyrical folk songs such as "A little man stands in the forest". In other places he wrote such catchy melodies in folksy idioms that they later became folksongs themselves, including magical numbers like "Brüderchen

English

Das bekannte Märchen nach den Brüdern Grimm ist eine Geschichte für Jung und Alt. Ursprünglich verfasste Adelheid Wette, die Schwester des Komponisten Engelbert Humperdinck, eine Theaterfassung des Märchens für eine private Vorführung. Da diese Aufführung viel Lob einbrachte, beschloss Humperdinck eine ganze Oper daraus zu machen, die schließlich 1893 ebenfalls mit großem Erfolg in Weimar uraufgeführt wurde. Obgleich es sich bei Humperdincks Vertonung um eine durchkomponierte Oper handelt, kann sie als familiengerechte und beliebte Kinderoper angesehen werden. Humperdinck hat darin einige liedhafte Volkslieder wie „Ein Männlein steht im Walde“ aufgenommen. An anderen Stellen schrieb er auf volkstümliche Redensarten solch eingängige Melodien, dass sie später selbst zu Volkslieder wurden, darunter zauberhafte Nummern wie „Brüderchen, komm tanz mit mir“
