<< 
 (Wozzeck, actually.)  I think you're confusing a couple of scenes from
 Wozzeck together; the scene you describe doesn't occur in either the
 opera or Buechner's original play (which the opera was based on). >>

The only person that Wozzeck kills is his wife, Marie.  The captain
does have a monologue (interrupted only by Wozzeck's occasional
"Jawohl, Herr Hauptmann") in Act I Scene i that's filled with sort of
a frenzied melancholy; this may be what you're thinking of.

Hmmm... You're correct on the spelling but this scene is in some version of
Wozzeck. There was a recent Hungarian film adaptation that includes it. I am
certain this scene is in it, but I will hunt down that libretto. He kills his
wife after killing the captain.
