‘Recovered Voices’: The headline on a review of “Recovered Voices” in Tuesday’s Calendar section said the two works performed by Los Angeles Opera were written by German composers. Although “The Broken Jug” and “The Dwarf” were written in German, neither of their composers -- Viktor Ullmann and Alexander Zemlinsky, respectively -- was German. Zemlinsky was Austrian; Ullmann was born in Teschen, a city claimed by both Poles and Czechs and which at the time of his birth was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Teschen is now Cieszyn, in Poland.
