Are both Der Freischütz and Der Barbier von Bagdad operas?
Der Barbier von Bagdad Der Barbier von Bagdad ("The Barber of Baghdad") is a comic opera in two acts by Peter Cornelius to a German libretto by the composer, based on "The Tale of the Tailor" and "The Barber’s Stories of his Six Brothers" in "One Thousand and One Nights". The first of three operas by Cornelius, the piece was first performed at the Hoftheater in Weimar on 15 December 1858.
The Barber of Seville (play) The Barber of Seville or the Useless Precaution (French: "Le Barbier de Séville ou la Précaution inutile" ) is a French play by Pierre Beaumarchais, with original music by Antoine-Laurent Baudron. It was initially conceived as a comic opera, and was rejected as such in 1772 by the Comédie-Italienne. The play as it is now known was written in 1773, but, due to legal and political problems of the author, it was not performed until February 23, 1775, at the Comédie-Française in the Tuileries. It is the first play in a trilogy of which the other constituents are "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Guilty Mother".
