A three-act operetta set in Austria in the 1870s
Libretto by Carl Haffner and Richard Genee, after Meiliu and Halevy
English version: lyrics by Christopher Hassall, dialogue by Edmund Tracey

Die Fledermaus was Strauss's third stage work, and one whose ideal fusion of libretto and music created the most famous and best-loved of all operettas.
Sir Lennox Berkeley says:
'The achievements of the English National Opera have been many and varied, both in its days as Sadler's Wells Opera and now under its new name. They include an acclaimed English "Ring." Here, in a concert performance of Strauss's delightful Die Fledermaus (The Bat), they recall the time when operetta was a mainstay of their repertoire.'
