August Enna (13 May 1859 – 3 August 1939) was a Danish composer, known mainly for his operas.
Enna was born in Nakskov, Lolland, Denmark, but his ethnic origins lay in Sicily. His first major success as a composer was The Witch (1892), which was followed by several popular operas, songs, two symphonies[1] (in D minor and E major), and a violin concerto.[2] Strongly influenced by Wagner's music, he was himself an influence on Danish composers, such as Carl Nielsen.
August Enna also wrote piano music.
