König Manfred

93 is a grand romantic opera in 5 acts by Carl Reinecke to libretto by Friedrich Roeber.

The first performance took place at the Royal Court Theater of Wiesbaden on 26 July 1867 with Wilhelm Jahn as conductor.

Although it was a huge success, the opera remained in repertoire only for a while (a printed libretto appeared as late as in 1881).

The opera deals with Manfred, 13th-century King of Sicily (1232-1266), against whom was half Europe: eventually he fell in battle against Charles I of Anjou.

The following list is based on the Breitkopf & Härtel 1868 vocal score.
