In his review of The Gypsy Baron the music critic and writer Max Kalbeck caught people’s attention with the following remark, ‘After the interesting indications which Johann Strauss II has given us in this his latest work, we cherish more intensely than ever the happy hope that we will soon be able to greet the graceful muse of this composer of genius in the place where we have long wished to meet her: in the opera house.’ Comments like these certainly fell on fruitful ground with Strauss, as his own artistic intentions were themselves heading in the same direction. However, it was a path that would lead the composer to failure. While his Simplicius, with its leanings towards Wagner and a patriotically old German atmosphere, was a strange hybrid of opera and operetta and no more than a modest success, the work which Strauss composed for the Court Opera House, Knight Pasman, op. 441, first performed there on New Year’s Day 1892 and specifically described as a ‘comic opera’, was a resounding flop.
