Joseph Weterings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Weterings (17 April 1904 – 9 May 1967) was a Belgian writer, musicologist and music critic. Weterings wrote poetry, plays and libretti for ballets and operas.
He was also director of the energy company Electrogaz in Brussels until 1966.
His main interest as a literary author was the culture of antiquity. He worked with composers like Albert Roussel on his ballet Aeneas and an (unfinished) opera, Le Téméraire, or Karel Albert as well as Wladimir Vogel and Norbert Rosseau.
Some of his works were illustrated by Belgian painter Edgard Tytgat (see below).
Barely a year after his retirement from Electrogaz, he died at Seillans in the French department of Var, where he had taken up residence.
