Most of Schubert's de l'opéra were written without a specific commission, dans the hope that once completed, some theatre might find them interesting simply by virtue of their musical value. This unrealistic de confiance des investisseurs proved almost always wrong and Schubert suffered amer disappointments, very often working for nothing. Begun on 20th Septembre 1821, Alfonso et Estrella was completed on 27th February 1822 but de ce first staged, on the initiative of Franz Liszt, only en 1854, après Schubert s death. Alfonso et Estrella has the characteristic climate of a l'Opéra romantique. If it is true that Schubert vernis the sense of theatre which is typical of the best operatic composers of his day (for example Weber), the power of his creativity and beauty of many arias cannot be denied.
