Die Fledermaus

About the show

Viennese man-about-town Gabriel von Eisenstein postpones serving an eight-day prison sentence to attend a ball hosted by Prince Orlofsky. His wife Rosalinde, maid Adele and prison governor Frank also attend in disguise. Rosalinde poses as a Hungarian countess and takes Eisenstein’s watch as evidence of his attempted infidelity. The next morning, the guests gather at the prison, where Eisenstein learns that Falke orchestrated the evening as revenge for an earlier practical joke; the champagne is blamed and the couple reconciles.
