Die Schweizer Heulsuse (the “Swiss Milquetoast”) is the legendary, possibly apocryphal, unfinished last opera of Otto Büchstein, composed on his deathbed in an opium den in Mandalay, delirious with malaria[1]. Mainly famous for a misquote in Gräfin Schümli Pflümli’s final aria, Der Teufel mag im Detail stecken, aber Gott steckt in den Lücken.[2]
