Der wohltätige Derwisch : Vienna, 1791 by
Emanuel Schikaneder(
)
10 editions published between 2010 and 2019 in German and held by 523 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Der wohltätige Derwisch oder Die Schellenkappe (The Beneficient Dervish, or The Fool's Cap), first performed in Vienna in 1791, is a recently rediscovered German opera. As in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, the libretto is by Emanuel Schikaneder and based on a fairy tale from Christoph Martin Wieland's Dschinnistan, in this case "The Princess with the Long Nose." The collaborative music for this three-act"Lust- und Zauberspiel mit Maschinen, Arien und Chören" (comic-magic play with [stage] machines, arias, and choruses) has been attributed to three composers in the surviving sources: Johann Baptist Henneberg, Benedikt Schack, and Franz Xaver Gerl. Additional music may have been composed by Schikaneder and perhaps Mozart ... Der wohltätige Derwisch proved to be highly successful in Vienna and was also performed in various cities in Austria, Germany, Bohemia, Moravia, and Hungary as well as in St. Petersburg, Russia. Only excerpts appeared in print, however, and about twenty years after its premiere the opera vanished from the repertory." --

Der Stein der Weisen by
Emanuel Schikaneder(
)
3 editions published between 2007 and 2019 in German and held by 354 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Der Stein der Weisen oder Die Zauberinsel (Vienna, 1790) is the heroic-comic opera that provided the model for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Emanuel Schikaneder wrote the libretto based on the same collection of fairy tales. The music is attributed to five composers, all of whom were involved in Die Zauberflöte: Johann Baptist Henneberg, Benedikt Schack, Franz Xaver Gerl, Mozart, and Schikaneder. The opera includes Mozart's well-known "cat" duet, "Nun liebes Weibchen" (K. 625/592a). This modern edition is based on a recently rediscovered Viennese manuscript now in Hamburg, with variants from the other surviving Viennese sources. " --

Two operas from the series Die zween Anton. Vienna, 1789 by
Benedikt Schack(
)
8 editions published in 2015 in German and Undetermined and held by 273 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Among the forgotten but highly popular operas of the late eighteenth century, Der dumme Gärtner aus dem Gebürge oder Die zween Anton (The Dumb Gardener from the Mountains or The Two Antons, Vienna, 12 July 1789) seems particularly worthy of reexamination. The Antons (as Mozart called it) was the subject of much commentary and praise; it was performed in almost every German theatre over the next two decades, and it was translated into Czech. The success of the opera inspired six sequels and secured the place of its author, Emanuel Schikaneder, in the popular imagination of the Viennese public. This success also made possible the series of fairy-tale operas that included Mozart's Die Zauberflöte (1791). Die zween Anton was also the first original opera of Emanuel Schikaneder produced at the Theater auf der Wieden after he had taken over its direction; the music was a collaborative composition by Franz Xaver Gerl, Benedikt Schack, Johann Baptist Henneberg, and probably Schikaneder himself. With the recent recovery of a Viennese manuscript copy of Die zween Anton in Hamburg's State and University Library, we can now investigate this opera in detail." --

Two operas from the series Die zween Anton. Vienna, 1789 by
Benedikt Schack(
)
3 editions published in 2016 in German and held by 256 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The stunning success of Der dumme Gärtner aus dem Gebürge oder Die zween Anton at Vienna's Theater auf der Wieden (12 July 1789) led quickly to a sequel in the same year, Die verdeckten Sachen (26 September). Like its predecessor, the music was a collaborative composition by Franz Xaver Gerl, Benedikt Schack, Johann Baptist Henneberg, and probably Schikaneder himself. Mozart had high praise for the Antons, and he composed his final set of piano variations on one of the most celebrated arias in Die verdeckten Sachen, "Ein Weib ist das herrlichste Ding auf der Welt." This edition will present this aria for the first time in its original orchestration. With the recent identification of performing materials for Die verdeckten Sachen in Rudolstadt, Thuringia, we can now investigate this opera in detail." --
