Hans Pfitzner
Von Stach wrote plays, novels, fairy tales, and lyric poetry. Her most famous work, a Christmas play, "Das Christ-Elflein" (The Christmas Elf), dates to 1906, and shows the literary influence of naturalist writer Gerhart Hauptmann. In the same year, composer Hans Pfitzner set the work to music in an opera of the same title and it was premiered at the Bavarian State Opera.
