Die Schatzkammer des Ynka (LoWV 36) is a great romantic opera in five acts by Albert Lortzing from 1836 on a libretto by Robert Blum based on the story Die Schatzkammer der Ynka (!) By Karl Adolf von Wachsmann (1787–1862). Only a festival march from the first act was premiered on August 3, 1837 at the Leipzig City Theater ; the work was never performed in full. Libretto, piano reduction and score are now considered lost, Lortzing apparently destroyed the work himself.
