Gli dei a Tebe is an opera in 3 acts by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari to a libretto by Mario Ghisalberti. The premiere was given as Der Kuckuck in Theben in a translation by Ludwig Anderson (real name Ludwig Strecker) on 4 June 1943 at the Hanover Staatsoper.[1]

His final operas were La Dama boba (The Silly Lady, after Lope de Vega), produced at La Scala in 1939, and Gli Dei a Tebe (The Gods at Thebes), at Hannover in 1943. During World War II he taught at the Salzburg Mozarteum. Afterward he returned to Zürich but came back to Venice to die."
