Die Geisterinsel
Die Geisterinsel (German for The Enchanted Island) is an
Schiller to publish the late husband's libretto in his Die Horen, appearing in issues 8 and 9 of 1797.[1]
The libretto was initially set to music by
Goethe's direction. However, Fleischmann's setting did not achieve significant success and was overshadowed by Johann Friedrich Reichardt's second setting of Die Geisterinsel, which premiered in Berlin in 1798. Subsequently, five more musical adaptations of the libretto were composed in 1879, and another version by Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg
premiered in Dresden in 1805.
