The opera "Guntram" appeared in 1894, in Weimar, Germany. It was one of the less successful new operas of the year. Before the century was out, several other 1894 pieces had been performed widely and internationally, in various languages. "Guntram" had to wait almost ninety years for its American premiere. The premiere was done in a concert performance by the Opera Orchestra of New York. "Guntram" was tepidly received in Weimar, and in Munich, Germany, the opera was withdrawn after a single performance.
