Historical Background[edit]

Fledermaus is the German word for "bat". Die Fledermaus ("The Bat") is also a famous comical operetta composed by Johann Strauss II and first performed in 1874. The story of Die Fledermaus is about revenge. Baron von Eisenstein is sentenced to 8 days in prison for insulting an official, but his friend, Dr. Falke, persuades the court to allow Eisenstein to be allowed to attend a masquerade ball that night where some prominent socialites and beautiful ladies will be in attendance. The previous winter, Eisenstein & Falke attended a masquerade where Eisenstein was costumed as a butterfly and Falke as a bat. After a wild night of partying, Eisenstein goaded Falke into walking home the next morning in his costume, in broad daylight, which caused Falke to be a laughing stock. Ever since then, Falke has been plotting his revenge on Eisenstein. After a night of costumed confusion where many characters were costumed in a way where their closest friends could not identify them, most of the cast wakes up in jail the next morning with Eisenstein. Falke arrives at the prison and declares it all the revenge of the bat. Everyone but Eisenstein is released, who has to serve his 8 day term, but all have been humiliated.
