Exibida no Festival de Mörbisch em 2003, esta opereta em cinco atos, com música de Franz Lehár e libreto alemão por Paul Knepler e Fritz-Löhner Bede, é ambientada no Marrocos. Foi o último e mais ambicioso trabalho de Lehár, e tem como personagem principal uma cantora que divide sua paixão com mais de um homem. Há muitas semelhanças entre a história de Giuditta e a Carmen, de Bizet, e seu infeliz final intensifica essa coincidência. Uma das músicas mais famosas na obra é a ária "Meine Lippen, sie küssen Heiss" cantada por Giuditta n quarto ato.
