Biography
Edouard Kann was born into a Jewish family in Paris, France, the son of a prominent banker. He received his musical education under Massenet for composition and A. Duvernoy for piano.[1]
In 1895, he produced the oratorio Ruth at the Grand Théâtre of Lyons. This was followed by the two-act opera Gaitanne, which appeared at the Théâtre des Arts de Rouen in 1898 and the Théâtre Royal de Gand in 1900, and the one-act comic opera Maritorne, produced by the Théâtre de St-Malo.[1] In the years following these works, Kann brought out several musical compositions, including Le Baptême du printemps!, Syrinx, and Lion Amoureux.
