Very desirable AMQS on an off-white 7 x 4.5 sheet, signed boldly below in ink, "Johann Strauss, Wien, 2 Novemb., 83." Strauss neatly pens ten bars of music, adding a line of writing along the top which identifies the piece as "Eine Nacht in Venedig." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light toning. A Night in Venice is an operetta in three acts that premiered in Berlin on October 3, 1883, in the Neues Friedrich Wilhelmstadisches Theater; the piece holds the distinction of being Strauss's only operetta to be premiered outside Vienna. After making several alterations, Eine Nacht in Venedig made its debut in Vienna at the Theater an der Wien on October 9, 1883, running for 44 consecutive performances. The operetta has since become one of Strauss's most recognizable stage works.
