THE BAT
Opéra comique in three acts by Johann Strauß
Alfred von Eisenstein and Dr. Falke are friends...
They have fun together, help each other, when they want to break out of common life, they have common secrets and know almost everything about each other. And they pay each other everything back. That one of them, Dr. Falke, became the laughing-stock of people, will the other one, Eisenstein, pay for. Dr. Falke cooks up a cunning intrigue. Not only the city, no, the whole world will laugh about the treacherous friend. He carefully prepares his plan: At a festivity of the rich Russian Prince Orlofsky it should be translated into action...
The immortal Operetta of Johann Strauß is making unruly fun of the world of lies and disguise. And in the end there is even a culprit: it was the champagne.
