The remainder of the winter was devoted to the serious study of the duties required of a musical director: in a very short time I had to tackle two new grand operas, namely, Marschner's Vampir and Meyerbeer's Robert der Teufel, in both of which the chorus played a considerable part.
There is much in this strange story which suggests the legend of the Flying Dutchman, and, bearing in mind the admiration which in his early days Wagner felt for the works of Marschner, it is interesting to trace in 'Hans Heiling' the source of much that is familiar to us in the score of 'Der Fliegende Holländer. Of Marschner's other operas, the most familiar are 'Templer und Jüdin, founded upon Sir Walter Scott's 'Ivanhoe, a fine work, suffering from a confused and disconnected libretto; and 'Der Vampyr, a tale of unmitigated gloom and horror.
