König Jérôme

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

König Jérôme oder Immer Lustick is a comic operetta in four acts by Karl Michael Ziehrer with the text by Adolf Schirmer. Its first performance was at the Ringtheater in Vienna on 28 November 1878 with Ziehrer himself directing the theatre orchestra.[1] The operetta was only of mediocre popularity and its fate was sealed when Ringtheatre inferno happened in 1881 which destroyed large parts of the orchestral score. Of the entire score, the only pieces which survived was the Overture, the piano excerpts as well as the aria "Verliebt" (In love).
