A vajda tornya (The Vaivode's Tower), to a libretto by Viktor Lányi after Hanns Heinz Ewers and Marc Henry, was first performed in Budapest at the Király Theatre on March 18, 1922. The opera "is about the building of a tower as a last defence; an evil spirit destroys it every time it nears completion. To placate the spirit, the first woman who crosses the bridge over the moat must be walled in alive, and this is the lovely daughter-in-law of the old chieftain, who has to carry out the sacrifice. The German and French co-authors set the story in Albania, but since a similar legend was very much alive in Transylvania (then part of Hungary), Dohnányi moved the setting there, reworking the text himself. The opera follows Romantic traditions, but Dohnányi's voice is unmistakable. It displays his outstanding melodic gift and the transparent orchestration is clearly the work of a master chamber musician. This is the only full-length Hungarian opera written in the first half of the 20th century." Bálint Vázsonyi in Grove Dictionary of Opera.
