182042714n. p. 1820. White laid paper black printing.German-language text. Light creasing to top edge; minor foxing; small loss to heading minimally affecting one letter; light center fold line. VG. Broadside printed recto only. 14-1/4" x 8-1/2" <br/><br/>Playbill for a performance on Thursday September 28 1820 at an unnamed playhouse possibly the Frankfurt City Theatre. The star-crossed lovers were played by Herr Becker and Demoiselle Lindner both of whom appear in that theatre's records for other plays. The playbill lists box office times and locations cost differences for the various areas of seating the starting time of 6 o'clock in the evening etc. Interestingly a performance of "Der Corsar" "The Corsair" an opera in two acts is advertised for the following morning which we speculate was based on Byron's wildly popular work of the same name. This opera predates both Francesco Maria Piave's libretto and Verdi's opera of the same name. "Intrigue and Love" was first performed on 13 April 1784 at the Schauspiel Frankfurt in Frankfurt to wide acclaim and continues to be performed today. (n. p.) unknown books
