Die Landstreicher (The Tramps) is a German-language operetta in one prologue and two acts by Carl Michael Ziehrer to a libretto by Leopold Krenn [de] and Karl Lindau.
[1] The premiere was just three weeks after the death of Johann Strauss II.
Despite the Viennese mourning for their beloved composer, the operetta was especially noted for its Viennese spirit and more so with Ziehrer himself conducting, the review from the press was favorable with Ziehrer heralded as a new composer to usher in a new age.
[2] The libretto for Die Landstreicher was the basis for Ludwig Engländer's Broadway musical The Strollers which was staged at the Knickerbocker Theatre in 1901.
[4] A film was made in 1937 directed by Karel Lamač with a script by Géza von Cziffra.
