Die Landstreicher
Music by Karl Michael Ziehrer · premiered 1899
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 and Karl Lindau. It was first performed on 26 July 1899 at the summer theatre "Venedig in Wien". 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. Die Landstreicher was the most popular of his stage works.
