Die Verschworenen, also known as Der häusliche Krieg (D 787) is an 1823 one-act singspielbyFranz Schubert after a librettobyIgnaz Franz Castelli with spoken dialogue by the composer. Castelli's libretto was based on Lisistrata, ou Les Athéniennes, Comédie en un acte et en prose, mêlée de vaudevillesbyFrançois-Benoît Hoffman, which had premiered at the Théâtre Feydeau in Paris in 1802. The French play in turn was based on LysistratabyAristophanes (411 BCE).
