Schubert on Stage

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

In the last of five programmes, David Owen Norris introduces Der Hausliche Krieg (1824), with contributions from Schubert biographer Elizabeth Norman McKay. The libretto by Ignaz Castelli updates Aristophanes's comedy Lysistrata to the time of the Crusades. War-weary women refuse to accommodate sexually their warrior menfolk until peace is declared.
