Prelude: Das Fluchlein, das jeder mitbekam [The Little Curse that Everyone Experiences], Op. 18 (1929-30)
An operatic overture by German composer and conductor Siegfried Wagner (1869-1930), the son of Richard Wagner. This unorthodox opera was Siegfried Wagner's last major work. Set in the 1920s, it treated a number of controversial topics such as unemployment and the rise of fascism in Europe. It contained a rather unsavory character called "Wolf", which was the Wagner family's nickname for Adolf Hitler. Overall, in this opera Siegfried Wagner portrayed fascism in a very unflattering light, and for this reason, the Wagner family immediately suppressed its performance and publication. The ban lasted until 1984, when Das Fluchlein received its first performance.
