Director Christof Loy has already twice helped little-known operas from the early 20th century to a successful comeback at the Deutsche Oper Berlin: after Erich Wolfgang Korngold's THE MIRACLE OF HELIANE and Riccardo Zandonai's FRANCESCA DA RIMINI, another long-forgotten operatic treasure follows: Franz Schreker's THE TREASURES, one of the most important operas of the 1920s. The premiere in Frankfurt in 1920 was a sensational success, and in the next five years alone no fewer than 44 productions followed at various houses. But then it became quiet about the popular work. Schreker's operas no longer seemed to reflect the spirit of the times, and with the performance ban imposed by the National Socialists, the scores finally disappeared into drawers. And even after 1945 it was a long time before a Schreker renaissance began. THE TREASURE GRAVE, however, still has a hard time of it today.
