Schubert, Franz Rosamunde, Fürstin von Cypern D 797 Romantisches Schauspiel in vier Akten mit Musikbegleitung, Chören und Tänzen On 20 December 1823 Helmina von Chézy s great romantic drama Rosamunde received its premiere performance at Vienna s Theater an der Wien. Unfortunately this version of the drama with ghosts, shipwreck, pirates, attempted poisoning and other horrifying ingredients has not survived unlike Schubert s popular incidental music which was already praised by contemporary critics. Special acknowledgment was given to the genius of this much-loved master , and as evidence of its popularity, the overture and the Hunters Chorus had to be played again. Now Bärenreiter is issuing one of Schubert s best-known compositions in a complete vocal score. The appendix includes Chézy s draft to the play Rosamunde and a reconstruction of the first version of this drama.
