Die Fledermaus

Prince Orlofsky invites everyone to the ball: Gabriel von Eisenstein, to make a splash before starting his prison sentence, and his maid Adele, who is invited by her sister. Gabriel's wife Rosalinde, on the other hand, stays at home to receive her singing teacher Alfred for a rendezvous. But this does not take place, as Alfred is mistakenly sent to prison instead of Gabriel, so she spontaneously goes to the ball after all. The entire Eisenstein household is at the ball and is unwittingly caught up in a clever revenge plot by Dr. Falke, who wants to get back at Gabriel for a prank he pulled on him. There is confusion, denial, confusion, love, forgiveness and forgetting, and the champagne flows freely.

The masterpiece by Johann Strauss and Richard Genée delights millions of people around the world and is not only a classic on New Year's Eve, but also a famous perennial favorite in the operetta repertoire.
