Based on the comedy Le réveillon by Meilhac and Halévy, and performed in Vienna on 5 April 1874, Easter Sunday, The bat intertwines ambitions and betrayals, intrigues and disguises, with the music of dances such as the waltz, the polka and the csárda - sung by the astute Rosalinde to simulate a Hungarian identity. The series of misunderstandings generated by the notary Falke's desire to take revenge on a joke of his friends, who had made him wander around the city drunk and disguised as a bat, must not be misled: the wide vocal textures, the virtuosity of the singers and the articulate musical architecture know how to keep tension high and involve the viewer in the acrobatic game of parts, to the point of delivering this operetta to history as a true classic.
