Genast

Genast, who has returned from Berlin, tells me that she made a furor there with "Wenn es doch immer so bliebe!"

Letters Liszt, Franz 1893

Do not forget to give my friendly greetings to Genast [the celebrated Weimar actor, afterwards Raff's father-in-law] and my homage to Mademoiselle Doris [Afterwards Raff's wife, an excellent actress].

Letters Liszt, Franz 1893

Greet them kindly, also Raff, and Genast, and Zigesar, without forgetting the brave artists to whom I owe so much gratitude.

Correspondence of Wagner and Liszt Tr 1888

In spite of this, both Herr von Zigesar and Genast feel bound, in the interest of your work, to address you some observations, which I, for my part, have declined to submit to you, although I think them somewhat justified by the limits of our theatre and of our public, which are as yet far behind my wishes and even my hopes.

Correspondence of Wagner and Liszt Tr 1888

If you have a moment, do not forget to write to Genast, who has very warmly interested himself in the success of "Lohengrin".

Correspondence of Wagner and Liszt Tr 1888

My best remembrances to Genast and my brave singers.

Correspondence of Wagner and Liszt Tr 1888

Arrange by the intervention of Genast that before the second performance the singers have another rehearsal according to the above indications.

Correspondence of Wagner and Liszt Tr 1888

To Genast, for whom also this letter is intended, I shall write separately as soon as I know that my demand has not offended him.

Correspondence of Wagner and Liszt Tr 1888

Genast, however, was always one of those artists who do not rely upon the stage-manager for the comprehension of their parts; he who has heard him and seen him knows so much.

Correspondence of Wagner and Liszt Tr 1888

I have not yet succeeded in discovering your designs and instructions for "Lohengrin"; I gave them at the time to Genast, and they made the round of the theatre here.
