Dr Falke, Fledermaus

The operetta genre born in Napoleon III's Paris had spread rapidly throughout Europe and had found its second home in Vienna. Among the many to be seduced also the most famous and prolific of the sons of the Father of the waltz, Johann Strauss jr. who sanctioned his fortune with Die Fledermaus ( The Bat ), an operetta inspired by Le réveillonby Meihlac and Halévy and staged at the Theater an der Wien on April 5, 1874. At the center is the classic love triangle, with consequent deceptions and scenes of jealousy, in the joyful setting of a masquerade where the disguise guarantees freedom otherwise impossible for the protagonists. In the cloudiness induced by the fumes of champagne that cheers up the party, the secret of happiness seems to be hidden: it is better to forget, even if momentarily, rather than accept the inevitable. Thus the lightness and disenchantment of the story translate musically into a phantasmagoric montage of heterogeneous musical elements. Obviously the beating heart of the Bat beats in the ternary rhythm of a waltz but the potpourrimusic created by Strauss also includes polkas, arias that mimic the Italian opera, citations of the hits of the moment (Offenbach's operettas) and folkloric pieces, such as the csárdás sung by Rosalinda at the party.
