The piece was written in 2010 to 2011 for the opera festival at Vadstena. Before the premiere the composer expressed his view of the work as an operetta in the sense that "a direct and immediate communication with an audience" is planned.[2] One reviewer of the premiere noted musical influences of Michel Legrand and Igor Stravinsky in the score.[3]
The premiere took place on 21 July 2011, at Vadstena Castle, Sweden, with David Björkman [sv] conducting soloists and the Vadstena Academy Opera Orchestra. A small ensemble is used: one flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, trumpet, a harp, piano, and strings and one percussionist.
