The costume collection was huge. <br>Professional musicians such as the famous singer Christiane Pauline Kellner (1664\u20131745) performed there \u00ac\u2013 as did members of the court nobility and the duke\u2019s own children, who took lessons from the dancing master. <br>Known as the \u201cKom\u00f6diensaal\u201d (Comedy Hall), the opera house was opened in 1685 and transformed Wei\u00acssenfels into a centre of the arts with a significance far beyond central Germany. It is documented that around 140 theatrical works were performed there, created by important composers such as Johann Philipp Krieger (1649\u20131725) and Reinhard Keisers (1674\u20131739). But the actual number is thought to be much higher \u2013 at least 400.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oper_Libretto.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1018]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"662\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oper_Libretto-662x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oper_Libretto-662x1024.jpg 662w, https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oper_Libretto-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oper_Libretto-768x1188.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oper_Libretto-331x512.jpg 331w, https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oper_Libretto-166x256.jpg 166w, https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oper_Libretto.jpg 970w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Fig. 1: Libretto of a work performed at the opening of the opera house in 1685<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1018","pano_objects","type-pano_objects","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pano_objects\/1018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pano_objects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/pano_objects"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rundgang.museum-weissenfels.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
