The operetta by the Hungarian composer I. Kalman was written by him in 1915. The premiere took place on November 17, 1915 at the Johann Strauss Theater in Vienna. In addition to the name "Queen of Chardasha", there is also a literal translation from the German "Princess Chardasha". The first production of the operetta in Russia took place at the height of the war with Germany (1916), so both the name of the operetta and many of the names of the actors were redone. Since then, in the Soviet Union and Russia, most productions have been and are being staged under the name "Silva". Russian lyrics by V. S. Mikhailov and D. G. Tolmachev.
