Although we now have a good recording of the overture on Naxos, this enjoyable Wagnerian opera, written on a large scale, remains in the shadows. Until some enterprising German company takes it up, we can only play through it...and read about it. I see that there is a dissertation devoted to its only New York performance (Metropolitan Opera House under the auspices of the Damrosch opera company.) Looks interesting, and perhaps others will think so, too.
