[?]First Edition of the piano-vocal score. Cf. OCLC no. 4946820. Donna Juanita, to a libretto by Camillo Walzel and Richard Genée, was first performed in Vienna at the Carltheater on February 21, 1880. "Suppé is the earliest Viennese composer of musical farces whose works still survive as viable stage scores (and popular overtures), and later in his career he became the first master of the classical Viennese operetta in the train of the acclimatized scores of Offenbach. His light, fluent style includes the ability to vary a phrase length or melodic and rhythmic figure in a personal and immediately effective way." Peter Branscombe and Dorothea Link in Grove Music Online.
