{{Main|List of operettas by Johann Strauss II}}

The most famous of Strauss's operettas are ''[[Die Fledermaus]]'', ''[[Eine Nacht in Venedig]]'', and ''[[The Gypsy Baron|Der Zigeunerbaron]]''. There are many dance pieces drawn from themes of his operettas, such as "Cagliostro-Walzer" Op.&nbsp;370 (from ''[[Cagliostro in Wien]]''), "O Schöner Mai" Walzer Op.&nbsp;375 (from ''[[Prinz Methusalem]]''), "[[Rosen aus dem Süden]]" Walzer Op.&nbsp;388 (from ''[[Das Spitzentuch der Königin]]''), and "[[Kuss-Walzer]]" op. 400 (from ''[[Der lustige Krieg]]''), that have survived obscurity and become well-known. Strauss also wrote an opera, ''[[Ritter Pázmán]]'',{{sfn|Traubner|1983|page=131}} and was in the middle of composing a ballet, ''[[Aschenbrödel]]'', when he died in 1899.{{sfn|Jacob|1940|p=341}}
