Fatinitza, an operetta in three acts, based on La Circasienne of Eugène Scribe, set by Auber, has a text by Zell and Genée, two of the most distinguished collaborators in the genre of operetta. Set in the Crimean War, it deals with the mistakes that occur when Lieutenant Wladimir adopts female disguise, captivating the General Kantschukoff and later finding himself imprisoned in a Turkish harem. It was first staged at the Carltheater in 1876.
"…a splendid performance of a wonderfully robust and tuneful score…" Gramophone
