Ignaz Umlauf (1746-1796) was an Austrian composer. He was Kapellmeister of the new German National Singspiel of Emperor Joseph II beginning from 1778 to his death. His son Michael Umlauf (1781-1842) was also a notable composer, and his daughter Elisabeth, mother of the composer Gustav Hölzel, was an operatic contralto.

Works

  • Die Bergknappen Singspiel in 1778, featuring Caterina Cavalieri, and the first Singspiel by an Austrian composer to be performed in Vienna.
