Die Fledermaus at The Grange Festival
I’m at The Grange for Johann Strauss II’s effervescent operetta Die Fledermaus (The Bat) which premiered in Vienna in 1874. It has become the quintessential Viennese operetta, transcending the genre, and the masterpiece of the so-called “Golden Age” of operetta. The libretto, by Karl Haffner and Richard Genée, adapts the French vaudeville Le Réveillon by Meilhac and Halévy, itself based on a German burlesque.
