Die Fledermaus

Information on Die Fledermaus

Johann Strauss was the most significant Viennese composer of easy-listening music of the 19th century. This “king of waltzes” is, besides other works, the author of a number of operettas, from among which alongside The Gypsy Baron it is Die Fledermaus – an ideal mixture of Viennese charm, humour and unbeatable zest for life – that belongs to the most successful ones.
