Jery und Bately is a charming natural picture of Swiss manners, and in the spirit and form of the best French operettes; Scherz List und Bache again is a true opera buffa, full of Italian Lazzi. Die Mitschuldigen is a comedy of common life in rhyme, and after the French rules.
For it is employed in the only legitimate way, that of zest, not substance. Tabitha and Winifred would still be triumphs of characterisation of a certain kind if they wrote as correctly as Uncle Matthew or Nephew Jery. Further, Lismahago is a bolder and a much less caricatured utilising of the "national" resource than Morgan.
The return of the troops from the Franco-Prussian War, with her husband as officer among them, brought forth three patriotic songs, two male choruses, and the Kaiser Wilhelm March for orchestra, performed at a court festival of rejoicing. Her second operatic attempt was a setting of Goethe's "Jery und Bately," which met with deserved success.
Music to Goethe's "Jery und Baetely," which, in theatrical parlance, was shockingly damned; but then "its author had made many enemies as editor of the 'Musikalische Zeitung," and the singers and actors embraced this opportunity of revenge. 2.
