''Der Templer und die Jüdin '' (''The Templar and the Jewess'') is an opera (designated as a ''grosse romantische Oper'') in three acts by Heinrich Marschner. The German libretto by Wilhelm August Wohlbrück was based on a number of intermediate works based in turn on Walter Scott's ''Ivanhoe''. ==Performance history== The first performance took place at the Stadttheater in Leipzig on 22 December 1829. It became Marschner's most successful work and was staged more than 200 times in Germany during the next 70 years. A revised version with recitatives rather than spoken dialogue was performed in Berlin on 3 August 1831 with Eduard Devrient as Bois-Guilbert. It was given in London at the Prince's Theatre on 17 June 1840, and in New York on 29 January 1872. Many critics regarded the opera as unnecessarily complicated (and expensive to produce) and simplified versions were prepared by Felix Mottl, Richard Kleinmichel and finally Hans Pfitzner (1912). The latter's version was performed in Lübeck, Strasbourg and Cologne just before the First World War. The opera was revived at the Wexford Festival in 1989, conducted by Albert Rosen and directed by Francesca Zambello, with William Stone as Bois-Guilbert and Greer Grimsley as the Black Knight. Robert Schumann quotes an air from this opera in the finale of his Études symphoniques for piano. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Der Templer und die Jüdin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
