»Die Fledermaus« is considered the ultimate operetta, full of waltzes, polkas, who-with-whom, champagne, mistaken identity, masquerading and fraternization. How refreshing it is that Gabriel von Eisenstein, eager to have some quick fun with young ladies before he goes to prison, is repaid tit-for-tat by his wife Rosalinde: with her old vocal coach Alfred. Only a tenor could be so audacious! Adele, the maid, has high aspirations, but first she attends the ball as Miss Olga in the dress of her gracious lady. And this is how all the lovable characters, who are not too concerned with the truth, converge at the ball of Prince Orlofsky. He is young, rich, bored – such a retaliatory action by Dr. Falke is just what he needs. The latter has a score to settle with Eisenstein: "This is the way the bat takes revenge!" Orlofsky's ball becomes a stage. And in the end they all meet again in prison. Here Herr von Eisenstein learns who his close pal, the Chevalier Chagrin, really is and what the doppelganger in his dressing gown is all about. Eisenstein's acquittal is celebrated with champagne, because after all, he alone was to blame, was he not?

The bat

Musikalische Komödie

With four performances of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, the North German Philharmonic Orchestra Rostock, under the direction of its chief conductor Marcus Bosch, is saying goodbye to the year 2024. In doing so, it is following a more than 100-year-old tradition from Leipzig. This work was performed there on New Year's Eve in 1918 with the Gewandhaus Orchestra under Arthur Nikisch, welcoming the new year 1919 with the final chorus of Schiller's Ode to Joy . There will be two performances this year in the main hall of the Rostock Volkstheater on December 31st.

New Year's Eve concert

Volkstheater Rostock - Big House

A Russian tsar, a small-town mayor, a shipyard worker, and three foreign diplomats meet in the time of Peter I. In the middle of it all, Marie fights with heart and mind for her groom. Like many of Lortzing's other operas, Zar und Zimmermann premiered in Leipzig. One of the Musikalische Komödie’s artistic goals is to cultivate Lortzing’s works, in order to keep the composer alive and well in the musical city of Leipzig.
