Since it premiered in 1933, the opera is still in copyright. Therefore,
it cannot legally be posted on the Internet without permission.

On a totally unrelated note, what do you think of that opera? I've been
meaning to hear it.
How does it stand against his more better known opera: Ariadne auf Naxos,
Salome....errr well I like Ariadne a lot anyway. :-)

That may be true in America, where I understand that the Disney Corp.
affectionately known here in Europe as Mausschwitz ) surreptitiously got
the US copyright laws changed whilst your former president was pre-occupied
with looking for his old cigar, but here in the UK it's still only 50 years,
which is why EMI rushed out twinkling new remasters and repackagings of the
Callas 1953 "Tosca" last year before the likes of Messrs. Rosen & co. got
busy. Hoffmansthal ( librettist of "Arabella" ) dies in 1929, so his texts,
though not necessarily any translations thereof, have always been
legitimately available to post on the www in Europe and probably are
somewhere or other. Pip pip SJT

Legal or not, I've found it on the German Google (without translation
though)
