| Marketing Copy | THE QUEEN’S LACE HANDKERCHIEF (DAS SPITZENTUCH DER KÖNIGIN) is an operetta by Johann Strauss II (1825-1899). The libretto by Heinrich Bohrmann-Riegen and Richard Genée is based on a fictional story about the Spanish writer Cervantes. Mocking the affluent count Villalobos, Cervantes finds himself in prison, but the king of Portugal frees him because the queen is fond of his literary work. When the count finds a handkerchief from the writer’s pocket embossed with an amorous message from the queen, a scandal ensues, but Cervantes finds a clever way to reunite the royal couple. The premiere took place on October 1, 1880 at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna under the baton of the composer. This Kalmus edition of the Overture is arranged by Max Schönherr.
