Enrique Granados (b. 1867 in Lérida) ended his life in the cold waters of the English Channel after the ship on which he was sailing was attacked by a German submarine on March 24, 1916. He was returning from New York, where his opera Goyescas had premiered at the Metropolitan Opera. His career was at its pinnacle, and greater things were no doubt yet to come. Yet, despite the fact that this incident became an international scandal and provoked much outraged commentary, the attack itself has often been inaccurately reported and misinterpreted. Now, more than ninety years after Granados’s death, it is appropriate to examine once again this incident and clarify exactly what did and did not happen, and to gauge the impact of his shocking demise at that time and now.
