Ernst Krenek achieved the greatest success of his career with his opera "Jonny spielt auf", op. 45 ( 1926). The premiere took place in Leipzig in 1927. The audience responded enthusiastically: “Jonny” was played to sold-out houses on over 100 stages throughout Europe and Krenek became one of the best-known names in the music world of the time almost overnight.
