An opera with a rich vein of musical ideas; sumptuous and original sets; a little-known German Romantic composer; high-level interpreters (among them Anna Caterina Antonacci, a star of international renown): these are the ingredients of Hans Heiling, staged in 2004 in Cagliari under the scrupulous and refined baton of Renato Palumbo. There is no doubt that this timeless story of gnomes and spirits, love and suffering, supernatural powers and mortal beauty will captivate many opera lovers.
Heinrich Marschner's operatic oeuvre presents us with a constant reminder of the great German operatic tradition that preceded him and the glorious one that followed him. It is commonplace to regard Marschner (1795-1861) as the most important composer of German romantic opera between Weber and Wagner–a not-so-enviable position, especially considering the debates on romantic opera that flared up in the nineteenth century. E. T. A. Hoffmann regarded romantic opera as the "only true one, for only in the realm of romanticism is music at home." Hoffmann's aesthetics of opera were allegorically presented in his 1813 essay Der Dichter und der Komponist ("The Poet and the Composer"), later included in his Serapionsbruder. (For a translation and commentary see E. T. A. Hoffmann's Musical Writings: Kreisleriana, The Poet and the Composer, Music Criticism, ed. David Charlton, trans. Martyn Clarke. [New York: Cambridge University Press, 1989], 169ff.) In that essay, Hoffmann advocated for a truly romantic opera that could "bring before our eyes the wonderful apparitions of the spirit-realm, the supernatural and the real bound up one with the other." Music would prove to be the perfect medium for realizing the connection between the two worlds–music itself is part of the "marvelous," since it is very hard to grasp. The latter idea, in Schopenhauer's formulation of the insatiable Will, would have immense implications for romantic music aesthetics, and opera in particular…
