Die Jagd

Die Jagd (The Hunt) is an opera by the German composer Johann Adam Hiller.

The libretto by Christian Felix Weiße is based on the plays La partie de chasse de Henri IV by Charles Collé, The King and the Miller of Mansfield by Robert Dodsley, and the opéra comique by Michel-Jean Sedaine (originally set by Monsigny).

The farmer Michel will not permit his daughter Röschen to marry Töffel before the mysterious disappearance of his son Christel's fiancée, Hännchen, has been explained.

A storm forces everyone to take cover, including the members of the king's hunting party.

The king reveals his true identity, banishes the count and rewards Michel and his family.
