Six months after the première the play and opera were performed in London in an English translation by W. Somerset Maugham (Her Majesty’s Theatre, 27 May 1913; conductor Sir Thomas Beecham).
The second version (Vienna, 4 October 1916) replaces the play (and its incidental music) with a new operatic prologue, this being the form in which the work is almost invariably performed today. However some distinguished commentators (including Beecham) have continued to argue for the superiority of the 1912 original.
