An explanation of why the opera was banned by the Nazis would be nice.Bill (talk) 17:57, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Too many notes". But seriously, I think this info should be added. From the composer's Wiki: "first production in 1875, but eventually fell into neglect after being banned by the Nazis because of Brüll's Jewish origins" --Óli Gneisti (talk) 21:09, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
