Der Glücklich Widersprüchlichmensch, or in italian Il Felice Provocatore (lit. “The Jolly Contrarian”) is an overly long comic opera by Otto Büchstein. Not popular, but it kept him out of his long-suffering wife’s hair for more than a decade while he wrote it. Features the bracing aria Io Devo Saltare
