De Fladdermuis
libretto reading #2

Celebratory reading of Johan Strauss' Fledermaus

An operetta about a society cleanly divided into classes,
So that the maid can play a lady
And the lady can play a Hungarian princess…
Where a lover in the housecoat of the husband ends up in prison…
Where a 18-year old prince teaches his disciples how to drink and where champagne is a keyword….
In short, a society where everything and everyone sings of joy
Where high notes crush crystal glasses and where tenors melt the alto until she solidifies again…
