Waldmeister
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the herbaceous plant "Woodruff" which is called "Waldmeister" in German, see Galium odoratum.
Waldmeister (Woodruff) is an operetta written by Johann Strauss II to a libretto by Gustav Davis [de]. It was first performed on 4 December 1895 at the Theater an der Wien.[1] Although not as popular as some of Strauss' other operettas, such as Der Zigeunerbaron and Die Fledermaus, it was given eighty-eight performances, and was much admired by Johannes Brahms,[2] a friend of the composer.
