La Lotta Per Attrarre Talenti, sometimes performed in German as Der Kampf um Talente (“The Struggle To Attract Talent”), is an unfinished Operetta by winsome Austrian librettist and amateur composer Otto Büchstein. NEver performed in his lifetime, a fully-formed script was recovered from his belongings in the opium den in Mandalay where he spent his last, fevered months.

There is some controversy about its provenance: some point to the self-interested work of Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C., anxious to boost his consultancy fees.
