Are both Der Freischütz and Der Barbier von Bagdad operas?
Der Freischütz Der Freischütz , Op. 77, J. 277, (usually translated as "The Marksman" or "The Freeshooter") is a German opera with spoken dialogue in three acts by Carl Maria von Weber with a libretto by Friedrich Kind. It premiered on 18 June 1821 at the Schauspielhaus Berlin. It is considered the first important German Romantic opera, especially in its national identity and stark emotionality.
Die Maccabäer Die Maccabäer ("German, The Maccabees") (sometimes spelt 'Die Makkabäer') is an opera in three acts by Anton Rubinstein to a libretto by Salomon Hermann Mosenthal. The opera is based on a play by Otto Ludwig, which is itself based loosely on the biblical story of the Maccabees. Written in 1872-74, it was first performed on 17 April 1875 at the Hofoper, Berlin. Censorship problems prevented its performance in Russia until January 1877 (in St.Petersburg).
