"The Siblings" (German: "Die Geschwister") is a singspiel in one act composed by Ignaz Umlauf, an Austrian composer of the Classical period. Premiering in 1776, this work stands as a significant contribution to the genre of singspiel, which combines spoken dialogue with musical numbers, and was particularly popular in German-speaking regions during the 18th century.

Ignaz Umlauf, born in 1746, was a prominent figure in the Viennese musical scene and served as the first Kapellmeister of the newly established National Singspiel at the Burgtheater in Vienna. His role was pivotal in the development and promotion of German-language opera, and "The Siblings" is one of his notable works in this capacity.

The libretto of "The Siblings" was written by Joseph Franz von Ratschky, a poet and playwright who collaborated with Umlauf on several occasions. The narrative revolves around themes of familial relationships, misunderstandings, and eventual reconciliation, which were common in the comedic and sentimental plots of singspiels of that era. The characters are typically drawn from everyday life, making the story relatable to contemporary audiences.

Musically, "The Siblings" showcases Umlauf's adeptness at blending lyrical melodies with the dramatic needs of the text. His compositions often reflect the influence of his contemporaries, such as Christoph Willibald Gluck and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, yet maintain a distinctive style that emphasizes clarity, charm, and expressiveness.

The premiere of "The Siblings" was well-received, contributing to Umlauf's reputation as a leading composer of his time. Although not as frequently performed today, the work remains an important example of the singspiel genre and provides insight into the musical and cultural landscape of late 18th-century Vienna.
