That year, Friedel died and a new company was formed at the theater by Emanuel Schikaneder. Nouseul was among the performers from Friedel's company that Schikaneder retained. The illustration shows Nouseul in performance as part of the Wiedner ensemble in "Die zween Anton", a popular work that introduced the new company to Vienna. "The Magic Flute" premiered 30 September 1791, with Nouseul in role of Monostatos, the villainous assistant of Sarastro who ultimately defects to the side of the Queen of the Night.
