In 1854, the originator of Viennese Operetta, Franz von Suppé created the music for a new play by Leonhart Wohlmuth. It is part of a forgotten art form where the music underlines and accompanies the action on stage in a similar way to a soundtrack for a film. While the music works very well in the present day, the real challenge is to modernise the script to make it relevant and interesting for a modern audience. Originally written in early 19th century German, the script sounds outdated and received a less than positive reception at its original outing. Its dialogue is more in keeping with Opera and required significant work to make it palatable to a contemporary audience. The project on which this book is based maintained the music by Suppé as indicated in the manuscript score, while translating and adapting the German script by Wohlmuth into a version more interesting in the present day.

Die Mozart Studien, 1991 begründet, veröffentlichen Beiträge in deutscher, italienischer, französischer oder englischer Sprache. Im Mittelpunkt stehen wissenschaftliche Arbeiten zum Werk von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In 17 Essays werden neue Mozart-Quellen vorgestellt, so zur Oper "Idomeneo" oder der Arie "Basta vincesti" KV 295a, und analytische Fragen aufgeworfen, wenn Traditionen des Librettos zum "Mitridate" zur Diskussion stehen oder die Frage der Autorschaft für die Rezitative im "La clemenza di Tito", bei denen sich auffällig zwei verschiedene Autoren unterscheiden lassen. Ergänzt werden diese Texte von Studien zu biographischen Fragen im Kontext von Mozarts holländischem Aufenthalt 1765-1766. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die Präsentation eines unbekannten Librettos zur Uraufführung von Mozarts "Entführung aus dem Serail" mit handschriftlichen Ergänzungen des Bühneninspizienten unter detaillierter Angabe zu den Kulissen und Requisiten.
