Franz von
Schober.
In late
September or early
October 1821 Schubert and
his close friend, Franz
von Schober, vacationed
in the countryside of
Lower Austria. Their
first stopover was at
Ochsenburg Castle, which
belonged to the Bishop of
St. Pölten (a close
relative of
Schober’s), after
which they moved on to
St. Pölten itself.
Roughly a year earlier,
two stage works by
Schubert had been
performed in Vienna: the
one-act singspiel Die
Zwillingsbrüder and
the melodrama Die
Zauberharfe. The
librettos were both
written by the seasoned
Viennese playwright Georg
von Hofmann, who blamed
the press for the
indifferent reception the
two works were given by
the audience. Schubert
and Schober now decided,
it would seem, to write a
grand romantic opera
uninfluenced by the
workaday world of the
theatre and beholden
solely to their own ideas
of what an opera should
be.
Not until 24
June 1854 was the opera
finally performed in
Weimar, under the baton
of Franz Liszt. It only
achieved success,
however, in an
arrangement by Johann
Nepomuk Fuchs that was
staged on many German and
Austrian stages in
1881–2, allegedly
with brilliant
acclaim.
