Die Fledermaus October 10, 2008

A comic operetta by Johann Strauss II with text by Richard Genee and Carl Haffner, set in Vienna during the 19th century. Rosalinde's husband, Eisenstein, is going to prison for insulting the tax collector. Meanwhile she is being wooed by Alfred, an old lover. Instead of turning himself in at the prison, Eisenstein goes to a party. The police show up at Rosalinde's looking for Eisenstein and mistake Alfred for the convict. Rosalinde attends the party disguised as a princess. Eisenstein flirts with her. The situation is further complicated when Rosalinde's maid shows up wearing Rosalinde's clothes. Fortunately all matters are cleared up the next morning when Eisenstein turns himself in to the jailer.
