Richard Wagner, born in 1813, claimed to have seen her as Leonore in "Fidelio" when he was 16, but this is almost certainly fanciful. He did hear (and conduct) her in numerous roles after 1834, however, and continued to laud her stage artistry right up until his essay "On Actors and Singers" (1872) which is dedicated to her memory. She created several roles for Wagner – Adriano in "Rienzi", Senta in "Der fliegende Holländer" and Venus in "Tannhäuser". Had Wagner's political profile not been compromised by his involvement with the Dresden uprising in May 1849, Schröder-Devrient would have created Elsa in "Lohengrin" which was advertised in 1849 as a forthcoming production in Dresden.
