Wieland der Schmied (libretto)
''Wieland der Schmied'' ''(Wieland the Smith)'' is a draft by Richard Wagner for an opera libretto based on the Germanic legend of Wayland Smith. It is listed in the Wagner-Werk-Verzeichnis as WWV82.
==Background==
Wagner was motivated by his enthusiasm for the ''Romeo and Juliet'' symphony of Hector Berlioz to create a libretto which might serve for a production at the Paris Opéra, with music perhaps to be written by Berlioz 〔Warrack (1979), p. 112〕 or by himself. The draft, which is mostly in prose, was written between December 1849 and March 1850.〔Millington (1992), p. 322〕 It was published as an appendix to Wagner's essay ''The Art-Work of the Future'' as an example of the ideals to which such art-works should aspire - "a glorious Saga which long ago the raw, uncultured Folk of old-time Germany indited for no other reason than that of inner, free, Necessity".〔Wagner (1993), p. 210〕
The libretto contains many elements which are found in other of Wagner's operas (a swan, a wound, a spear, a ring, smithying, an absent mysterious father, a forbidden question), and one biographer calls it 'one of Wagner's most frankly autobiographic libretti'.〔Gutman (1990), p. 131〕 Nevertheless Wagner decided to abandon it, presumably because he realised its subject matter was not to French taste. He offered the libretto to Franz Liszt who also declined it.
The libretto was eventually adapted by O. Schlemm for the composer Jan Levoslav Bella who composed an opera on it between 1880 and 1890. (See ''Wieland der Schmied (opera)''.) This was eventually produced in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia in 1926. Revivals were produced in Slovak, under the title ''Kováč Wieland''.〔Elschek (2003), p. 265〕
