The Bat by Strauss II, Od (2025/2025), Režija: Davey Kelleher, Dirigent Richard Peirson, Siamsa Tíre, Tralee, Ireland

Man-about-town Eisenstein is supposed to report to jail, his wife Rosalinde will stay home for the night and their maid Adele needs to visit a sick aunt. Yet all three turn up in disguise at Count Orlofsky’s masked ball. Mistaken identities and heavy flirting lead to a night of hilarity. Famous for his “The Blue Danube” waltz,  Fledermaus is Johann Strauss’ most popular opera. Best-known for its tunefulness, upbeat musicality and Viennese lilt, the story has hilarious twists and turns, with disguises, double crossings and rivers of champagne.
