However, throughout the winter of 1841/42, Wagner was not able to leave Paris - he simply did not have the means to do so. In early January, news came that the Dresden Theater again postponed the production of Rienzi, first until February, and then until the fall in general. It began to seem to Wagner that while he was in Paris, and not in Dresden, the Rienzi would not be delivered. On the other hand, the composer was pleased to learn that the “Flying Dutchman” at that time was accepted for production in Berlin.

Thanks to the efforts of Brockhaus, the hour of deliverance for his brother-in-law soon struck.
