Subsequent Popularity
Despite its initial appearance of success, the opera was dropped from the repertory after the 1933-34 season, and has not enjoyed many revivals since. Hanson compiled a suite for orchestra from excerpts of the piece which consists of the prelude, the children's dance from Act I, the love duet from Act II, and the prelude and ballet from Act II. This has enjoyed somewhat more popularity than the opera.
