American version: Blossom Time
Five years after the Vienna opening, in 1921, the Shubert brothers acquired the American rights to Das Dreimäderlhaus with a view to customising the operetta for American audiences. They hired Donnelly and Romberg (their house composer) to adapt the libretto and music. The same team, three years later, adapted Old Heidelberg to make The Student Prince, but in the case of The Student Prince, the entire score was written by Romberg, not by another composer. The Broadway production of Blossom Ti...

Composer Franz Schubert falls in love with Hanner, one of three sisters, but he is too shy to express his feelings. He asks a young baron to sing her a lieder that he has written, but Hanner falls in love with the baron. Resigned to the romance between the baron and Hanner, Schubert plays his "Ave Maria" at their wedding.
