Zemlinsky war mit seinem Kapellmeisterjob am Carltheater nicht sehr glücklich und schrieb im Mai 1902 an seine Mutter: "Alles wäre schön auf der Welt, wenn’s keine Operette gäbe!"

From 1904 to 1911, Zemlinsky was "Kapellmeister" (=principal conductor) at the Vienna Volksoper (=Public Opera), except for a season at the Hofoper (=Court Opera) in 1907/08.
