Machine translation, like
DeepL or
Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 9,118 articles in the

Weigl composed a number of
operas, both Italian and German and in various genres, although most of his late works are pieces of sacred music. His best known work was the opera Die Schweizerfamilie (1809). He also set
Emanuel Schikaneder's libretto Vestas Feuer (1805), after his close friend
Ludwig van Beethoven had composed a single scene and then abandoned it.
He died in Vienna.
