Full biography Otto Nicolai
Otto Nicolai was a German composer, conductor, and one of the founders of the Vienna Philharmonic. He was born on June 9, 1810, and passed away on May 11, 1849. Nicolai is mostly known for his comic opera "Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor" (The Merry Wives of Windsor), which is based on William Shakespeare's play of the same name.
Nicolai wrote several successful operas during the 19th century , though today he is mostly remembered for "Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor." He wrote five operas in total , four of them for Italy, two of which he later revised for Germany. In addition to his operatic works, Nicolai also composed chamber music, including duets for two horns that have been adapted for two tubas.
Nicolai received his musical education in Berlin, studying with Carl Friedrich Zelter and Giacomo Meyerbeer. He later moved to Vienna, where he became part of the city's vibrant musical scene. In 1842, he founded the Vienna Philharmonic, along with other prominent musicians of the time.
Despite his contributions to music, Nicolai's life was cut short when he died at the young age of 38. Today, his legacy lives on through his music, particularly through his most famous work, "Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor."
