Intrigue and Love
Over the life of the theater, several well-known performers, musicians, and composers worked in the theater or attended its cabarets. These included Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who played several concerts there; F.L.Æ. Kunzen, who was its musical director from 1792 to 1794; Friedrich Schiller, whose Intrigue and Love was first performed within the theater on 15 April 1784, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who attended several of the cabarets at the theater. Actor, writer and stage director Gustav Friedrich Wilhelm Großmann also performed and directed several performances and cabarets seen at the Comoedienhaus.
