Cagliostro in Wien

It premiered on 27 February 1875 at the Theater an der Wien, featuring Marie Geistinger and Alexander Girardi.

The premiere was highly successful, in no small part due to the audience favourite Alexander Girardi[1] (1850–1918) as Blasoni.

Another notable performer at the premiere was Marie Geistinger (1836–1903) who had created the role of Rosalinde in Strauss's Die Fledermaus.

These shortcomings were corrected in a version with a revised libretto by Gustav Quedenfeldt and music by Karl Tutein (who included themes from the Kaiser-Walzer) which premiered on 8 May 1941 in Danzig (Gdańsk).

Johann Strauss used material from his operetta for the following works: Erich Wolfgang Korngold wrote an arrangement of the work, first performed on 13 April 1927 in Vienna.
