BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Die Fledermaus is not only the most popular classic operetta in the world, but also the repertoire of many well-known opera houses to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. The musical pieces of waltz, polka, march, csárdás in Die Fledermaus, each typical of Strauss's music, are all most familiar to the Chinese audience; and its overture, played in the New Year's Concert, has left a deep imprint on the minds of music fans.

Stephen Lawless, the famous British director, directs this new version of Die Fledermaus, and Frank Philipp Schloessamn, the stage designer for Der Ring des Nibelungen at the 2010 Bayreuth Festival, is in charge of its stage design. The well-known Chinese comedian Chen Peisi is also invited to perform in the operetta. In addition, to facilitate Chinese audience's understanding of the plots, the performance features conversations in Chinese while arias in German.

SYNOPSIS

The story is set in the Austrian thermal spa resort Bad Ischl. The previous winter, Eisenstein abandoned drunken Falke dressed as a bat in the center of town, exposing him to ridicule the next day. Therefore, Falke, in collusion with Eisenstein's wife Rosalinde, is orchestrating a ball as a way of getting revenge on Eisenstein. Before Eisenstein is to be put in prison for insulting an official, Falke invites him to a ball in the name of Prince Orlofsky. At the ball, Eisenstein is introduced to his maid Adele, guised as a pop star, and his wife who pretends to be a Hungarian countess. Kept in the dark, Eisenstein lavishly flirts with his wife. The next morning they all find themselves at the prison offices, where Rosalinde accuses his husband of his impropriety. Finally, Falke comes to Eisenstein's help, and the story comes to an amiable ending.
