}}[[Otto Büchstein]]’s obscure tragicomic opera {{br|Der Sieg der Form über Substanz}} (usually performed in Italian as ''[[La Vittoria della Forma sulla Sostanza]]'') (“[[The Victory of Form over Substance]]”) is an obscure and now largely forgotten portent of the forthcoming mechanization of the enlightened world. It was hampered on premiere by what theatre-goers found to be a plainly fantastical plot, but more critically by a brace of especially turgid arias either side of the interval. | }}[[Otto Büchstein]]’s obscure tragicomic opera {{br|Der Sieg der Form über Substanz}} (usually performed in Italian as ''[[La Vittoria della Forma sulla Sostanza]]'') (“[[The Victory of Form over Substance]]”) is an obscure and now largely forgotten portent of the forthcoming mechanization of the enlightened world.
