`Der ferne Klang` / `The Distant Sound`
Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound) is an opera by Franz Schreker, setting his own libretto. Begun in 1903, it was first performed by the Oper Frankfurt on 18 August 1912. It was the composer`s breakthrough to fame, and was frequently performed up until 1931, shortly after which the composer`s music was proscribed by the Third Reich. Largely forgotten after World War II, it has been revived by several opera companies in the 21st century.
