Abstract

Eine wirtschaftshistorische Analyse von in bekannten Opern genannten Geldbeträgen zeigt, dass sie in heutigen Frankenbeträgen und im Vergleich zum Lohnniveau am Ort und zur Zeit der Handlung sehr unterschiedlich sind. Wir finden Summen, die exorbitant hoch oder auch eher bescheiden erscheinen. Für zeitnahe Handlungen ist es plausibel, dass Komponist und Librettist sich des Wertes des genannten Betrags bewusst waren. Hingegen ist es fraglich, dass das auch für mehrere Jahrhunderte zurückliegenden Handlungen der Fall war.
