Johann Strauss syn

The Revenge of the Bat

The premiere

09 / 03 / 2012
Description

The story, which starts in a middle-class house, goes through a ballroom to finish... in a prison; it has entertained the audience all around the world for almost one and a half century. The intrigue, costumes, waltzes and cuples  – all that creates a unique atmosphere and lets you enjoy a fantastic evening in the opera, filled with singing and laughing...

"If you take a closer look at the three acts, it is easy to see that they represent three different worlds: act I is a French boulevard comedy, based on a witty dialogue, funny and surprising situations and bold erotics; act II is a typical operetta in a new  –  then  – style, full of masquerades and incredible qui pro quo caused by them, full of dance, champagne and finished with a powerful finale like in opera buffa; act III is a Viennese farce. Strauss took upon himself the task to connect these three worlds with one type of music, to impose stylistic homogeneity".
Lucjan Kydryński
