The Duchess of Athens (German: Die Fürstin von Athen) is a German comic opera with music by Friedrich Lux and the libretto by writer Wilhelm Jacoby.[1] Jacoby, who was well known for his farces, based the work on a play by the Greek writer Aristophanes. The work was first published in 1884, and received its première in Mainz in 1896.
