Journalist Antje Müller scrutinized the first major success of the composer in Nazi Germany in the Swiss musicological journal "Dissonanz." He visited African schools with a missionary and the African prison Leeuwkop in northern Johannesburg. It asserts that the composer was not aware of the racial implications of his opera in a South African context.3447232 bytesapplication/pdfenCambridge University PressMuller, AntjeComposersSutermeister, HeinrichOperas -- 20th centuryOperas -- Social aspectsApartheid -- South AfricaArticle
