Notes

Used by arrangement with European American Music Distributors LLC, sole U.S. and Canadian agent for Schott Music, publisher and copyright owner.

The libretto was written by the composer and his father, Julius Korngold. They settled on the name of "Paul Schott" because it reflected the main opera character's name and the name of their music publisher.
