Lulu (Kuhlau opera)

Lulu is an 1824 opera by Friedrich Kuhlau to a Danish libretto by Christian Carl Herman Frederik Güntelberg (1791–1842) based upon the fairy tale Lulu oder die Zauberflöte (1789) by August Jacob Liebeskind (1758–1793), son-in-law of Christoph Martin Wieland. This is the same story that Schikaneder turned into the libretto for Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. The opera was last performed 1838, and not revived until a 1988 recording. In 2018 it was staged at the Royal Danish Opera.
