Synopsis:

Three years ago, pompous man-about-town Gabriel Eisenstein played a prank on his friend, the legal minion Dr. Falke. After a masquerade ball, Eisenstein put Falke on display in the town square—passed out and dressed as a bat! Falke was already far below Eisenstein in the pecking order, so this humiliation needs an elaborate payback. Now it is time for the next big masquerade ball, and Falke will arrange for Eisenstein to be embarrassed by two glamorous strangers…who just happen to be Eisenstein’s own wife and chambermaid in disguise.

But even Falke has no idea what doors and paths his prank will open up. Rosalinde, Eisenstein’s wife, is bored of her gilded cage and the pestering of ex-lovers, and is eager to cut loose. Meanwhile, downtrodden chambermaid Adele dreams of shaping her own destiny, rising to glory and power on the stage. Both of these heroines will seize their chance at Prince Orlofsky’s party, an international feast of bubbling waltzes and bubbly drinks. So pour the champagne and enjoy the revenge of “the bat”…or, as we say in German, Die Fledermaus.
