23. Its not an opera.

Rather, it's a collection of poems, songs, and short plays found in Benediktbeuern, a Benedictine abbey about 100 km south of Munich, in 1803.

Some of the pieces are rather bawdy, considering the time it was written.

Partial translation from Primo Vere:

Lying in Flora's lap
Phoebus once more
smiles, now covered
in many-coloured flowers,
Zephyr breathes nectar-scented breezes.
Let us rush to compete for love's prize. Ah!
