description Simplicius Overview
Simplicius is an operetta by Johann Strauss II, first performed in 1887 and based on the German literary tradition surrounding Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's novel Simplicius Simplicissimus. The work draws on a wartime and satirical story world rather than presenting a purely contemporary romance. It is also associated with the waltz "Donauweibchen," whose material was drawn from the operetta. The piece belongs to the late nineteenth-century Viennese operetta repertory.
