Excerpt from The Standard-Operaglass Containing the Detailed Plots of One Hundred and Thirty Celebrated Operas: With Critical and Biographical Remarks, Dates &C, &C This little opera, composed by Weber in his early youth and first represented at Dresden under the composer's own direction, for a time fell into utter oblivion, ' but has lately been reproduced. Though short and unpretending it really deserves to be heard, the music is so full of sweetness, so fresh and pretty. The text is taken from a tale of the Arabian Thousand and One Nights, and though full of non sense, it amuses by its lightheartedness and gaiety of spirit.
