Der Graf von Luxemburg (The Count of Luxembourg), with a libretto by A.M. Willner and Robert Bodanzky, was first staged on 12th November 1909, but was considerably revised in 1937 for performance in Berlin. The plot centers on the activities of the Count of the title, Rene, who is impoverished, living with artist friends in Paris, and is induced to ennoble the singer Angèle Didier by marrying her, with the object of a quick divorce so that she may marry a Russian prince. René and Angèle are eventually united in love and marriage. In Mein Ahnherr war der Luxemburg (My forebear was Count of Luxembourg), Rene celebrates at a Paris street carnival.
