Event Description : 'Johann Strauss Die Fledermaus (The Bat)' opera film screening as part of Opera At Habitat Series. 

Sunit Tandon introduces a live video film from the Bavarian State Opera, Munich- Die Fledermaus, perhaps the best loved of all operettas, or light operas, composed by the legendary “Waltz King” of Vienna, full of humour, high spirits and bubbling melody. Gabriel von Eisenstein has to serve a short prison sentence for slander. His friend Falke advises him to first live it up at Prince Orlofsky’s masked ball, but without his wife Rosalinde knowing. Adele, Rosalinde’s chamber maid, receives a letter from her sister Ida inviting her to the same masked ball. She feigns illness to get off work early.
In the meantime Rosalinde’s plans to entertain her lover Alfred are thwarted when Alfred, instead of Eisenstein, is taken off to prison. Rosalinde also goes to Orlofsky’s ball where Eisenstein encounters Adele, disguised as an actress, but she denies knowing him. He then makes every effort to seduce an unknown, masked beauty who filches his fine watch. The next day, when Eisenstein reports at the prison where Alfred is locked up in his place, all the strange goings-on come to light and Eisenstein realizes he seduced his own wife at the ball (as the watch proves). The chapter is declared closed and the champagne is blamed for everything...
