| Blum,
Robert
(1807-1848) |
| Secretaire
of the City
theatre in
Leipzig from
1832 unto
1847. He wrote
in several
important
magazines and
was a member
of the
Schiller-Verein
in Leipzig. On
9-11-1848 he
was by
summary
justice
sentenced to
death by the
counter
revolution and
shot dead
at the
Brigittenau in
Vienna. He
wrote the
libretto of
"Die
Schatzkammer
des Ynka",
Lortzing's
only tragic
opera. |

| Düringer,
Philipp
Jacob
(1809 -
1870). |
| Close
friend of
Lortzing and
his
first
biographer
(_Albert
Lortzing, sein
Leben und
Wirken_,
Leipzig 1851).
He studied
medicine, but
became an
actor. It is
suggested that
they already
met in Coburg,
but Düringer
was then only
four years
old. However:
their
friendship
dates from the
period in
Leipzig, where
Düringer
worked from
1835. He also
wrote lyrics
for some of
the songs in
Lortzing's
operas. His
wife, the
mezzo-soprano
Caroline
Düringer - de
Lange,
was the first
countess in
"Der
Wildschütz".
In 1843 he
became stage
manager in
Mannheim. |

| Glaßbrenner,
Adolf
(1810 - 1876) |
|
|
|
| Gollmick,
Karl.
(1796 - 1866). |
| Studied
theology and
music. After
teaching
French in
Frankfurt, he
wrote several
opera libretti
and some
articles for
magazines.
Gollmick met
Lortzing in
Strasbourg,
and they
remained
friends for
the rest of
their lives,
even though
Lortzing
rejected his
proposal to
put Gollmick's
"Donna Anna"
and
"Floris von
Namur" to
music.
Lortzing's
letters to
Gollmick
(30-11-1843
and
08-07-1845)
are important
examples of
Lortzing
expressing
himself on the
aesthetics of
opera. |
