The earliest Singspiel that was ever publicly performed in the German language - Johann Theile's Adam and Eva - was first produced at Hamburg, in 1678. Here, four teen years later, the wealthy merchants Of the north east frontier built themselves a Theatre, in the busy G'ansemarkt, and ¿ocked to it in crowds to hear B2 mendelssohn.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
