Excerpt from The Nibelungenlied and Sage in Modern Poetry It was impossible for the writer to get approximately accurate informa tion of the repertoires of the theatres in Berlin and Munich, but in the two years from 1887 to 1889, though following carefully the plays given in these two capitals, he could find no announcement of the performance of either. Hebbel's Nibelwngen was restaged and presented last winter at Berlin, the first time for eight years at least, and probably for a longer period. Dur ing the last eight years the writer has chanced upon only one other notice of the performance of these plays - Geibel's in New York, Hebbel's once in Frankfurt, and once in Hannover. Undoubtedly they are presented ofiener, but, if very often, one would expect to see more frequent notices of their production. In Vienna, Hebbel's home during the last years of his life, his trilogy is one of the stock plays of the Burgtheater in fact Priilsa one of Hebbel's most enthusiastic admirers (in his Geschichte des Neueren Dramas, v1, claims that this theatre is the only place where it can be properly performed - a rather dubious compliment in view of the excellent productions of the German classic dramas and Shakespeare in the compara tively small cities of Germany.
