Die Feen
The Opernhaus Wuppertal is known for revivals of operas that are not part of the standard repertoire, or have not been for a very long time. Monteverdi's "Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria" was performed in 1959 in a version by Ernst Krenek. E. T. A. Hoffmann's "Undine" was revived in 1970. In 1981 Meyer-Oertel staged Wagner early "Die Feen", and in 1994 Schubert's Fierrabras, conducted by Peter Gülke. In the 21st century, Haydn's "L'incontro improvviso" was performed in a German translation under the title "Unverhofft in Kairo" on 8 January 2011, and Wolfgang Fortner's "Bluthochzeit" was revived in 2013.
