• Year of composition: 1846 or 1847 (both years can be found)
• Work category: Voices and piano
• Text author: Herman Sätherberg (1812-1897)
• First performed: According to Hallström’s own annotation in the autograph this operetta was performed at the Royal Palace in January, 1848, and also peformed at the Royal Theatre [Opera] the same year, whereas the archive of the Royal Opera states that it premiered there on 9 April, 1847.
  
  Most likely referring to the performance at the Royal Palace, Hallström also writes that the role as Grönberg was performed by Löjtn. [Lieutenant] L. Löwegren [probably referring to Ludvig Löwegren (1817-1894)], and Gråberg by Royal Secretary Silfverstolpe, Royal Secretary [most likely referring to Carl Silfverstolpe (1840-1899)].
  There is also an annotation (most likely relating to the performance at the Royal Opera), stating that the role as Grönberg was sung by Mr. Söderberg [most likely referring to Johan Söderberg (1811-1853)] and Gråberg by Mr. [Carl Johan] Uddman (1821-1876), albeit this is not quite corresponding to the information in the archive of the Royal Opera.
