DIE FLEDERMAUS - April 1979
The operetta, Die Fledermaus (The Bat), tells the story of a society that only comes alive after dark. The flamboyantly voluptuous Rosalinde arranges to meet her former lover after her husband, Gabriel von Eisenstein, is ordered to prison. Eisenstein is diverted to a party at Prince Orlofsky’s villa by Dr. Falke, and through a series of false identities, Falke cruelly stage-manages events to expose the sexual hypocrisy of Vienna society.
The original source for Die Fledermaus is a farce by German playwright Julius Roderich Benedix (1811-1873), Das Gefängnis (The Prison).
Music by Johann Strauss II (1825-1899)
