Johann Strauss II's Viennese treat

All of Viennese high society is going to Prince Orlofsky’s Ball. They just don’t want each other to know this. Eisenstein should be going to prison so he’s keeping a low profile. For obvious reasons his wife and her lover Frank are also keen to conceal their identities. Their maid Adele should be tending to her sick aunt, not partying. Eisenstein’s best friend Falke however is plotting revenge on him for making him walk through the city dressed as a bat. By the end of the night all masks will be lifted, identities will be known and truths will be revealed.

The waltz king, Johann Strauss II's comic operetta is a delicious Viennese treat, filled with sumptuous music. Celebrated opera director John Copley's new period set- production promises to create an evening of opulence, elegance and sheer frivolity.
