Mosco Carner notes: "Under the directorship of the famous actress Marie Geistinger ( 1869-75) and her partner and successor, Maximilian Steiner [ Max Steiner's grandfather] ( 1875-80), the theatre enjoyed an immense popularity. It became the home of Viennese operetta where 13 of Strauss's 15 operettas had their first performances between 1871 and 1897." See entry on "Vienna 1830-1945" in Stanley Sadie, ed., The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Volume 19 ( London: Macmillan, 1980), p. 728.
Tony Thomas makes this suggestion in his introduction to the "Catalogue of the Max Steiner Collection," and Richard Traubner's account of Maximilian Steiner's career supports this: see James V. D'Arc and Thomas D. Driggs, "Catalogue of the Max Steiner Collection," (Arts and Communications Archive, Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University, 1996), p. 2; Richard Traubner, Operetta: A Theatrical History ( Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1989), p. 113.
What Steiner calls the Vienna Imperial Academy in his autobiography was probably called the Konservatorium f½r Musik und darstellende Kunst when he was a student there. In 1909 it became the K½nigliche und Kaiserliche Akademie for Musik und darstellende Kunst, giving the title he uses.
