Compos
ed in 1823 but not
performed during his
lifetime, Franz
Schubert’s
Fierabras is a
“number
opera†with spoken
dialogue in the manner of
opra comique. It is based
on the medieval legends
associated with
Charlemagne, including
that of Eginhard and
Emma, and draws on the
old French heroic epic
(chanson de geste).
Emma, the daughter of
Charlemagne secretly
loves the knight Eginhard
who is not befitting of
her rank. The heathen
Moorish prince Fierabras
who, after being defeated
by Charlemagne, falls
into French captivity and
converts to Christianity,
is also in love with
Emma. His sister Florinda
on the other hand loves
the Franconian knight
Roland who is being held
prisoner by the Moors and
whom she helps to escape.
After several military
conflicts where
Charlemagne’s army
finally conquers the
Moors, the lovers
reunite. Only Fierabras
who is reprieved,
renounces his love and
accepts the liaison
between Emma and
Eginhard.
