In 1889 Richard Strauss made a new arrangement of the work for the publisher Adolph Fürstner, which was later staged in Weimar at the Hoftheater on 9 June 1900, under the Goethe-inspired title of Iphigenie auf Tauris.
It was first performed privately on September 20, 1867 at the Villa Turgenev in Baden-Baden and received its first public performance in Weimar on April 8, 1869 (in German translation as Der letzte Zauberer).
