Jonny spielt auf (Jonny Strikes Up), Op. 45, is a German-language Zeitoper with words and music by Austrian composer Ernst Krenek about a jazz violinist. He dedicated the opera to his second wife, Berta Herrmann.[1] A performance lasts about two hours. The work typified the cultural freedom of the 'golden era' of the Weimar Republic.
