Die Zauberharfe


Franz Schubert's best-known music for the theatre is his incidental music for Rosamunde. Less successful were his many Opera and Singspiel projects. On the other hand, some of his most popular Lieder, like "Gretchen am Spinnrade," were based on texts written for the theatre.

D 4, Overture to the vocal comedy Der Teufel als Hydraulicus for orchestra (1812?)

D 644, Music for Zauberspiel Die Zauberharfe for tenor, six spoken roles, mixed choir and orchestra (1820, in three acts: Overtures to the first and third acts, and thirteen numbers; Overture to the first act known as the "Rosamunde" Overture, also used in D 797)
