FULL of sparkling gaiety, instinct with the spirit of heedless youtli, Die Fiedcrmaus (The Bat) is such music as one looks for from the hand which gave us The Blue Danube. The story is the usual comic opera plot of dancing and flirtations, masks and disguises, in which the Bat himself, Dr. Falke, is the leading spirit. He has an old score to pay off against his friend the Baron Eisenstoin, and takes advantage of Eisenstein's having to go to prison for a week. But Falko persuades him to put that off until he has been to a ball being given by the Prince Orlofsky. Adele, too, the Baroness's chamber-maid, has an invitation to the ball, for which she begs leave of absence on the tearful plea that her dear aunt is very ill. Falke carries Eisenstein off-ostensibly to see him safely locked up—and in her husband's absence, Rosalinda, the Baroness, has a visit of condolence from Alfred, an old admirer and ' an irresistible tenor,' and while he is with her, the prison governor arrives to carry off Eisenstein. Alfred, to avoid compromising the Baroness, allows the governor to assume that he is Eisenstein, and goes off to prison in the Baron's stead.
