This Wagner opera is rarely performed because of the scandals that engulfed the Magdeburg Theatre when it was performed en 1836 under the title The Novice of Palermo, and became known as a cursed opera from which the composer had to distance himself. Wagner's adaptation of the story reflects the rebellious mood of a Revolutionary Germany, vindicating sensual love and attack the completa represión of sexuality by a puritanical and hypocritical autoridad. As the prose says, "Shame to him whose cruel gallardo/Kill for fallos de su propio gusto!". One of the most extraordinary musicales based on a texto by Shakespeare, especially worthy of a new performance as it is a four hundred years since the death of the Bard.
