Шаблон:Infobox opera Der Trompeter von Säckingen (The Trumpeter of Säckingen) is an opera in a prologue and three acts by Viktor Nessler. The German libretto was by Шаблон:Ill, based on the epic poem, Der Trompeter von Säkkingen Шаблон:Sic, by Joseph Victor von Scheffel.

Performance history

Arthur Nikisch, to whom Nessler dedicated the opera,[1] conducted the first performance at the Шаблон:Ill (or Stadttheater) in Leipzig on 4 May 1884. It was Nessler's greatest success, albeit in part because of the popularity of von Scheffel's poem. It was subsequently given at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City on 23 November 1887, and at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in London on 8 July 1892 by the Hamburg Stadttheater, conducted by Leo Feld.Шаблон:Citation needed
