海顿的歌剧

海顿并非作为歌剧作曲家留名至今，但并不代表他没有好的歌剧作品和对歌剧没有影响，实际上在十八世纪70年代 到 80年代左右，海顿代表他的雇主Nikolaus Esterházy经营着一队歌剧团，该团平均每年上演150次，海顿不少歌剧作品是在这其中创作的。

海顿的歌剧至今只是偶尔上演，Hob海顿作品目录中歌剧排在XXIX(29)里边，共有13部作品，实际并不止这个数目，在前几年的匈牙利国家图书馆例行清点中发现了39部海顿歌剧手稿，为研究他的歌剧提供了更丰富的材料。

Joseph Haydn is not primarily remembered as a composer of opera, yet the genre occupied a great deal of his time. During the 1770s and 1780s, Haydn ran an opera troupe on behalf of his employer, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, which put on up to 150 performances per year. A number of the operas were Haydn's own work. Haydn's operas are only occasionally performed today.

• 1752: Der krumme Teufel, Hob. 29/1a, Singspiel (libretto by Joseph von Kurz), composed during Haydn's time as a freelance musician. Now lost.
