Krása’s first surviving composition is a set of orchestral songs which formed his graduation work at the German academy. The work that established his reputation was the children’s opera Brundibar, which was later a beacon of light in the darkness of Terezin. In Terezin he wrote A Dance, Passacaglia and Fuga for string trio, Three Poems on Verses by Rimbaud, an Overture and a number of sketches. He also wrote a Symphony and a String Quartet which met with success in Paris. His works were performed in Paris, Zurich, Boston and Philadelphia.
Hans Krása was born in Prague to a musically talented family. By the time he was eleven, pieces by him had recieved public performances. He studied in the German Academy of Music in Prague with Alexander Zemlinsky and later worked with several artists in Prague. When he was deported to Terezin, he devoted himself completely to composition, but not all of his works from there survived. After rewriting his opera Brundibar by SS command to be used in a Nazi propaganda film, he outlived his usefulness for the Nazis and met his death in Auschwitz in the same day with Pavel Haas and Viktor Ullmann.

Hans Krása staat bekend om zijn kinderopera Brundibár (1938-‘43, Theresienstadt). Hij studeerde aan de Duitse Muziekakademie in Praag, waar Zemlinsky zijn mentor was en zijn interesse in Mahler en Schönberg aanmoedigde. In de jaren ‘20 werd Krása beïvloed door Franse muziek, met name Debussy, Ravel, Les Six en Stravinsky. Hij studeerde een paar maanden bij Roussel in Parijs en daarna in Berlijn. In 1928 keerde hij terug naar Praag.
Beschouwd als veelbelovend componist werd zijn werk al uitgevoerd in Parijs en Boston; zijn prijswinnende opera Verlobung im Traum werd in het Neue Deutsche Theater in Praag uitgevoerd. Hij kon Praag niet op tijd ontvluchten voor de Duitse bezetting in 1939. Hij werd als jood gedeporteerd naar Theresienstadt (Tsj.: Terezín), waar hij voor Nazi-propaganda op film is opgenomen, tijdens een inspectie van het Internationale Rode Kruis. Hij werd geëxecuteerd in Auschwitz in 1944.
