Although Liszt only completed one opera Don Sanche - and that at the age of thirteen - his preoccupation with the dissemination and performance of opera occupied him much of his professional life, whether as a conductor/producer or as a pianist/composer. Apart from his youthful work, Liszt made only sketches, during his most prolific period whilst at Weimar, for various operatic projects which came to nothing - although the most significant attempt, Sardanapale, after Byron, runs to 111 pages.
