The "Operetta King" delivers the absolute masterpiece of the Viennese operetta!
The fresh appeal lasts no matter how many times you see it, no matter how many times you hear it.
Let yourself be intoxicated by the dazzling waltzes and polkas, fall off your seat laughing at the acting by accomplished singers,
and indulge in the apex of the operetta form!
And all hail, hail at the end: "It was all the champagne's fault!"

A grand ball is held at a prince's villa on New Year's Eve. A husband and wife both attend, each under a false name. Over the course of the night, the husband attempts to woo a woman, who turns out to be his wife!　

This situation has all been crafted for the purpose of revenge by a man who has been cursed with the nickname "the Bat" because of a prank the husband played on him before. The husband, artfully caught in flagrante delicto in his infidelity, is forgiven by his wife: "It was all because you were drunk on champagne." The curtain falls. Such profound love! And all so smartly dressed!　

A favorite of the legendary conductor Carlos Kleiber, Die Fledermaus is a roller coaster ride of waltzes and polkas, one right after the other. As if that weren't enough, the magic of Johann Strauss II's music gently warms everyone to their core. Die Fledermaus performed by the Volksoper's masterful singers is an unequaled performance that will make you gasp, "Nothing else would do!"--no matter how many times you witness the dances and hear the songs. There will be considerable buzz for the production in Japan, as global opera house star Angelika Kirschlager will be playing Orlofsky. The gorgeous parade of stars--unrivalled by even the Austrian production--doubles the allure.
