His most famous operetta is "Szibill". The performance of this operetta was cancelled in London because of the beginning of World War I. After that, he left London for the United States and during his stay in New York City he became very ill. He died there on 10 December 1921 at 38 years old of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia.
