The opera in brief<\/strong>by Ludovica Gelpi<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The story of Die Fledermaus<\/em> (The Bat) begins in Vienna in 1874. Theatre impresarios were looking for people who could boost ticket sales, the city’s economy was still in dire straits following the disastrous stock market crash the year before. Precisely because of this, Max Steiner, co-director of the Theater an der Wien, commissioned Carl Haffner to translate the highly successful French play Le<\/em> R\u00e9veillon<\/em>, by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Hal\u00e9vy. The play, translated by Haffner and rewritten in the form of a three-act libretto by Richard Gen\u00e9e, with the title Doktor Fledermaus<\/em>, pleased Johann Strauss, who decided to set it to music and finished the composition in just over a month, in March 1874. The first performance of Die<\/em> Fledermaus<\/em> took place at the Theater an der Wien on 5 April, followed by numerous revivals throughout Europe and overseas.<\/p>\n\n

Operetta is by nature a genre focused on liveliness and entertainment. Many musical references converge in the Fledermaus<\/em>, first and foremost the waltz, a genre consecrated in Vienna by Johann Strauss’s own father of the same name, but also Italian arias, national styles, folklore, polkas, with dances and recited parts. Several pieces, precisely because of their great versatility were later rearranged as compositions for orchestra, which were also highly appreciated in concert halls. The bourgeois subject – in which the Viennese public could easily mirror itself – is portrayed comically with great irony, but not without those characteristic traits of hedonism and disenchantment of the society of the time emerging clearly. The plot unfolds between salons and masquerade parties, love intrigues and rivalries, disguises, adulteries, misunderstandings and champagne.<\/p>\n\n

Also thanks to the Fledermaus<\/em>, which to this day is a widely performed and appreciated title throughout the world, the operetta genre, which originated in France, achieved great fortune, becoming a cornerstone of Central European music between the 19th and 20th centuries.<\/p>\n\n
