First Peter Pan Non-English Production?

[junelike]

Hello to everyone, long time no see!
Does anybody know when the first stage production of Peter Pan on a not-British stage was?
I know the play was on stage in Paris in 1908 (and possibly before?), but I don't know what the year was of the first ever not-British production.
I'm particularly interested in Germany, but any date can be useful. I'm doing a research on some letters, so if anybody can help I'll be forever grateful!

Hi Alice
I assume you mean non-English language, rather than non-British? Because the first non-British would of course be the 1905 Broadway production in New York.  As far as non-English language is concerned, I have only ever come across a reference to the 1908 French production as the earliest, but I have no other details.

With respect to a German production, I don't have any information on this, but the theatre agents Felix Bloch Erben (www.felix-bloch-erben.de) may be able to help, as they handled the performing rights of Peter Pan for GOSH for many years (until 2007, when it entered the public domain) and they may have a record of the history of the German version. If you find out, do let us know!

Good luck.

Thank you for your reply! Thanks to the help I received I was able to conclude that the letter I was researching was genuine. I bought it! I'm going to cry with joy when I'll finally have it in my hands!
