Strauss, Johann
Strauss, Johann (the younger) (1825–99), composer. Son of the famous “Waltz King,” he became the leading composer of late 19th‐century Viennese operetta. Although he is best known today for Die Fledermaus and The Gypsy Baron, in his day he was more popular for such now‐forgotten works as The Merry War (1882), The Queen's Lace Handkerchief (1882), and Prince Methusalem (1883). Even A Night in Venice (1884) had only a short run. However, under a number of titles such as Champagne Sec and Rosalinda, Die Fledermaus enjoyed Broadway revivals throughout the first half of the 20th century.
