(Silvester) Johann Strauss - Netopier

The cult operetta from 1874 became one of Strauss's greatest successes. Undoubtedly also thanks to the excellent libretto based on the comedy of the German playwright R. Benedix Prison. The order from the Theater an der Wien was clear: "We need excellent music!"

This assignment was fulfilled to the letter by Strauss, who at the time of the performance of The Bat already had a patent for popularity: he was above all the pleasing waltzes that took Vienna by storm and finally Europe and the world. The combination of Viennese nobility, humor, vitality and optimism are the spices that attract the audience to the theater again and again.

Therefore, dear viewers, enter with us into the operetta world without mothballs, come and be entertained by a funny-ironic story, fly through the world of beautiful melodies, breathtaking costumes and come and be captivated by the atmosphere of the bizarre Orlofski club, where you invite " His Majesty!
