Der Trompeter von Säckingen (The Trumpeter of Säckingen) - Ein Sang vom Oberrhein
By Joseph Victor von Scheffel
Illustrations by A. von Werner
Published by Verlag von Adolf Bonz & Comp: Stuttgart 1884

"Der Trompeter von Säckingen (The Trumpeter of Säckingen) is an opera in a prologue and three acts by Viktor Nessler. The German libretto was by Rudolf Bunge [de], based on the epic poem, Der Trompeter von Säkkingen [sic], by Joseph Victor von Scheffel. Arthur Nikisch, to whom Nessler dedicated the opera, conducted the first performance at the Carola-Theater [de] (or Stadttheater) in Leipzig on 4 May 1884. It was Nessler's greatest success, albeit in part because of the popularity of von Scheffel's poem. It was subsequently given at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City on 23 November 1887, and at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in London on 8 July 1892 by the Hamburg Stadttheater, conducted by Leo Feld.
