Das Veilchen vom Montmartre

The libretto was written by Julius Brammer and Alfred Grünwald.

It premiered in Vienna at the Johann Strauss Theater on 21 March 1930.

[1] For the 1932 performances at the Alhambra Theatre in London the title was changed to A Kiss in Spring and the score was re-worked and supplemented by Herbert Griffiths (who had previously worked on the English adaption of Walzer aus Wien).

There were additional orchestrations by a distinguished set of musicians: Constant Lambert, Arthur Wood, Alfred Reynolds and Walford Hyden.

The choreography was by Frederick Ashton and the dancers included a young Alicia Markova as well as Harold Turner, Walter Gore and Prudence Hyman.
