Has anyone heard the 1911 opera Der Bergsee by Julius Bittner (1874-1939)?

I gave it to my father for Father's Day a year or two ago. As I recall, his assessment was that it's pretty good until the end, when it just sort of dies. I'd assume the idiom is German late Romantic, given what I know of the composer, but I don't recall actually establishing that with him.
