The opera was world premiered in 1915 in Stuttgart, Germany, and was premiered in North America at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1923, with Barbara Kemp for the main soprano role.

Libretto also includes 2 signed photo postcards, one for each composer Max von Schillings and Barbara Kemp, that have been attached (glued) to the back of the frontend page and the first blank page, before the title pages (see scans). Front end pages have a written text quote by an unknown hand, probably past ownership (see scan).
