The Bat

Approved

Die Fledermaus is an operetta composed by Johann Strauss Jr. with intriguing and humorous plots. It 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.
