The premiere of the operetta "Viennese Blood" took place on October 25, 1899 at the Karl-Theater (Vienna) shortly after the death of I. Strauss. The musical score for it was collected from the works of Strauss himself by the musician Adolf Müller. Viennese Blood is to this day considered the best operetta to Strauss's music, and the famous waltz Wiener Blut (Viennese Blood) became its leitmotif.

Especially for the Musical Comedy Theater, the original libretto was revised by the St. Petersburg satirist writer Semyon Altov. The chief guest conductor of the Musical Comedy Theatre, the well-known Austrian violinist and conductor Peter Gut, one of the greatest specialists in the modern interpretation of the music of the "king of waltzes", worked on the musical score of the new performance.

Director Igor Konyaev: “In our performance, we decided to completely abandon historical allusions and write a modern story. The political witticisms and pamphlet-like spirit of the new play have to do with contemporary politics, not historical ones. But don't worry, this is not a talk show. This is not a story about how politicians divide the world, but about how they manage their personal lives.”

St. Petersburg artist Olga Shaishmelashvili proposed an elegant and at the same time full of humor visual solution for the performance, where the magnificent crinolines of imperial Vienna are combined with the ultra-fashionable trends of modern world podiums, where evening dresses are easily combined with sports sneakers.
