The Bat opera

The world’s most performed operetta The Bat returns to the stage of the Slovak National Theatre Opera. The cheerful story full of unexpected plots, humour and especially the sparkling music of Johann Strauss Jr. in the rhythm of waltzes and czardas, which sparkles like champagne, will be staged under the direction of Miroslav Grisa.

The story is set in an elegant Viennese setting where the characters struggle with their loves, identity and pretense.

The main character is Gabriel von Eisenstein, who decides not to enter prison, but instead appears in a bat costume at a masquerade ball.

The Bat is a difficult test for the theatre ensemble not only in terms of interpretation, but also in terms of acting. The well-crafted production is an acting concert crowned with beautiful melodies. A critic writing for the Viennese newspaper Morgenpost wrote after the world premiere in 1874: “… in the box of the Theater an der Wien one can get the most beautiful seasickness, so the ground floor undulates to the enchanting notes that the baton of Johann Strauss coaxes out of the orchestra. Everything here is swishing, humming, singing and trilling like in the middle of spring.”

The operetta is staged in German, the spoken word is in Slovak.

The ticket price includes a welcome drink.
