Vocal Music

Opera 

        Although Mendelssohn wrote several singspiels (German light opera often 
        romantic or comic in nature, sometimes with magic and fantastical creatures), he 
        never wrote a full opera.  His singspiels were all written by age 20 and are rarely 
        performed today.
