Preussisches Märchen. Oper
Description
On the surface it is a comic version of the "Hauptmann von Köpenick" story in which it is not the petty thief Wilhelm Voigt who carries off the prank but a respected member of society, the clerk Wilhelm Fadenkreutz. He is not a factory owner like Diederich Heßling, but definitely has many of the characteristics of the hero of "Der Untertan". Boris Blacher and Heinz von Cramer Cramer quickly realised that such a devastating critique of Germany's past would not be easy to stage, and they toned down the satirical text before presenting it to the intendant of the Städtische Oper, Heinz Tietjen.
