Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's tale Das Fräulein von Scuderi created Paul Hindemith and his librettist Ferdinand Lion, the three-act opera Cardillac. In the person of the title character, a goldsmith who can as a man possessed of his jewelry pieces do not separate and murders, to protect them, and the tensions between artist and work, between the outer society and internal, solitary personality are discussed in the opera.
