A three-act Märchenspiel combining characters and episodes from numerous fairy tales, including tales by the Brothers Grimm. Hütchen is a kobold blamed for everything.
After returning from the Thirty Years’ War, Hans Kraft loses a wager with Saint Peter and is punished by the devil: he must wear a bearskin, remain unwashed, and find a woman who stays faithful to him for three years. The youngest daughter Luise accepts half his ring and remains true despite his appearance. Hans is redeemed, escapes the devil, and returns to Luise after helping defend a castle from attack.
Set in 17th-century Bohemia during the witch trials of the Thirty Years’ War, the opera opens with Hulda regretting that she killed her illegitimate child and buried it in a forest. Fearing the Inquisition, she longs for a friend whose understanding could free her from remorse.
