At the age of twenty-four Schubert was an experienced writer of operas, none of which had so far been performed. He was, however, still bent on writing them, and during the winter of 1821-2 he composed Alfonso and Estrella. The three-act libretto by F. von Schober is a hotchpotch of battles, love, conspiracy, hunting, peasant life, and other operatic conventions of the day. It had no better fortune than any of its predecessors. It was, however, ultimately performed at Weimar, under Liszt, in 1854, and again, with a rewritten libretto and many cuts, in 1881, at Karlsruhe.
