When did the opera in which Friederike Grün played Agathe premier ?
Friederike Grün Friederike Grün (14 June 1836- January 1917) was a German operatic soprano who had an active career during the latter half of the 19th century. Possessing a powerful voice with a wide vocal range, she sang a broad repertoire that encompassed Italian, French, and German opera. High points from her stage repertoire included the title heroine in Vincenzo Bellini's "Norma", Agathe in Carl Maria von Weber's "Der Freischütz", Leonore in "Fidelio", Rachel in Fromental Halévy's "La Juive", and Valentine in Giacomo Meyerbeer's "Les Huguenots". She is best remembered today for portraying several roles in the first complete presentation of Richard Wagner's "The Ring Cycle" at the very first Bayreuth Festival in 1876.
L'italiana in Algeri L'Italiana in Algeri (] ; English: The Italian Girl in Algiers ) is an operatic "dramma giocoso" in two acts by Gioachino Rossini to an Italian libretto by Angelo Anelli, based on his earlier text set by Luigi Mosca. It premiered at the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice on 22 May 1813. The music is characteristic of Rossini's style, remarkable for its fusion of sustained, manic energy with elegant, pristine melodies.
