Der Zar lässt sich photographieren
''Der Zar lässt sich photographieren '' (''The Tsar Has his Photograph Taken) is an opera buffa in one act by Kurt Weill, op. 21. The German libretto was written by Georg Kaiser, and Weill composed the music in 1927. It is a Zeitoper, a genre of music theatre which used contemporary settings and characters, satiric plots which often include technology and machinery. Musically the Zeitoper genre tends to be eclectic and borrow from Jazz. The genre has practically disappeared from the world's opera houses. Historically the Zeitoper came to an abrupt end with the Nazi period,〔Michael Haas, ''Forbidden Music: The Jewish Composers Banned by the Nazis'', Yale University Press, 2013〕 and after the war the cultureal institutions were perhaps hesitant to return to the lighter, often decadent and comic operas written before the holocaust changed the artistic perspective. This conjecture is supported by the statistical fact that of all of Weill's, Schönberg's, Hindemith's and Krenek's works - it is these very shorter, satirical Zeitoper works that are no longer performed.〔Cook, Susan, p. ?〕
== Performance history ==
The opera was first performed at the Neues Theater in Leipzig on 18 February 1928. Weill had intended it to be a companion piece for ''Der Protagonist'', though it was staged at its premiere with Nicola Spinelli's ''A basso porto'' (1894). ''Der Zar lässt sich photographieren '' and ''Der Protagonist'' were then performed together at Altenburg on 25 March of the same year. Recent performances of the work include the Guildhall in London (Producers Stephen Medcalf and Martin Lloyd-Evans, Conductor Clive Timms, 1997) and the Stockholm Royal Opera, 2000 (Conductors Dmitri Slobodeniouk and David Searle, Producer Knut Hendriksen).
The first American performance took place on 27 October 1949, at the Juilliard School, New York. The first professional performance in America was at The Santa Fe Opera in August 1993, with George Manahan conducting. The first performance in the United Kingdom was at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London on 12 March 1986.
