Overture: Der Bäbu, Op. 98 (1837)

An operatic overture by German composer Heinrich Marschner (1795-1861). "Der Bäbu" is a comic opera with a libretto by Wilhelm August Wohlbrück that centers around the mischief of the wily title character, who is a slave in the household of Sultan Ali. Set in colonial Calcutta, characters in this opera include Muslims, Hindus and Englishmen. In some respects, "Der Bäbu" resembles Carl Maria von Weber's earlier comic opera "Abu Hassan".
