Dear Lortzing fans,

It has been rather silent here for a while, but now I have great
news. There is an "Albert Lortzing-Gesellschaft" founded in Germany
by Irmlind Capelle, the editor of L's complete letters and the
catalogue of his complete works, Jürgen Lodemann writer of "Lortzing:
Gaukler und Musiker", the best book on Lortzing yet written, and
Ingolf Huhn, director of the Freiberg theatre.

Subscription is € 20 a year, which is not very much. I'm not sure
about the aims of the society, but I think (and hope) the board will
try to publish a complete (and critical) Lortzing editon.

For more information: send an e-mail to
info@...

Best regards,

George Overmeire
