First Sentence

IN 1830 the seventeen-year-old Wagner first turned his hand to writing an opera, but beyond the fact that he described it as a "pastoral opera" and that it was modeled on Goethe's pastoral play of 1768, Die Laune des Verliebten (The caprice of the infatuated lover), we know nothing about it, as he quickly abandoned the idea, and no text or music has survived.
