Which opera has more acts, Genoveva or Moses und Aron?
Genoveva Genoveva, Op. 81, is an opera in four acts by Robert Schumann in the genre of German Romanticism with a libretto by Robert Reinick and the composer. The only opera Schumann ever wrote, it received its first performance on 25 June 1850 at the Stadttheater in Leipzig, with the composer conducting. It received only three performances during the premiere, and the negative criticism it received in the press played a decisive role in Schumann's decision to not write a second opera.
Teseo Teseo ("Theseus", HWV 9; ] ) is an opera seria with music by George Frideric Handel, the only Handel opera that is in five acts. The Italian-language libretto was by Nicola Francesco Haym, after Philippe Quinault's "Thésée". It was Handel's third London opera, intended to follow the success of "Rinaldo" after the unpopular "Il pastor fido".
