Catalogue Note
Liszt's oratorio Die Legende von der heiligen Elisabeth , originally intended for a festival at the Wartburg planned by the grand duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, was first performed at Pest on 15 August 1865. The present carte de visite was inscribed to enable the admittance of two to the dress rehearsal of Elisabeth in Vienna on 3 April 1869 in connection with the performance of the work in the Redoutensaal, with Johann Herbeck conducting, the following day.
