In this version it was played first on Oct. 25th, 1912 in Stuttgart and 1913 in Berlin. These recordings here were made in the context of the Berlin premiere on Feb.7th, 1913, even if the singers there were different (Hermine Bosetti as Zerbinetta and Hafren-Waag as Ariadne) from the ones recorded here. Strauss later changed the piece because of the problems of the collaboration between theatre and opera and made an opera without theatre of it. The second changed version was first played on Oct. 4th, 1916 in Vienna and is still played today.
