Bat premiere in Schwerin: An evening full of confusion and fun!
There was great anticipation when the Schwerin theater tent in the kitchen garden invited people to the premiere of “Die Fledermaus” on Saturday evening. The popular operetta by Johann Strauss, which has been considered the epitome of Viennese esprit since its premiere in 1874, provides exciting performances and makes audiences smile. Viewers could look forward to a night full of deceptions, disguises and musical highlights like this Baltic Sea newspaper reported.
The production, directed by Stephanie Schimmer, focuses on the charming Gabriel von Eisenstein, who has to go to prison for eight days, but sees this as a trivial matter. His friend Dr. Falke persuades him to attend a glamorous masked ball with Prince Orlofsky. This is where the chaos begins, because Eisenstein, in the disguise of a French marquis, meets his wife Rosalinde, who is pursuing her own plans incognito: She wants to teach him a lesson without him recognizing her.
Confusion and charm in one evening
That evening it turns out that it's not just Rosalinde who is masked. The chambermaid Adele also appears to recommend herself as a stage star. These disguises lead to all sorts of misunderstandings and comedic complications that characterize the entire evening. Champagne flows freely, mistaken identities play a crucial role and the situation escalates in an entertaining way. Dr. As the night progresses, Falke reveals his desire for revenge, as Eisenstein had once left him drunk and in an unpleasant state, which makes the escalating circumstances even funnier, like this Mecklenburg State Theater summarized succinctly.
After all sorts of confusion, everyone involved ends up in prison, which gives the finale an unexpected twist. The acting performances, especially from Karen Leiber in the role of Rosalinde, impress with their strong stage presence. Your performance will be accompanied by the Mecklenburg State Theater Opera Choir and the Mecklenburg State Orchestra, resulting in an all-round successful experience.
Outlook and further dates
This amusing and musically challenging production will not be the last for the Schwerin Theater. After “Die Fledermaus” there are already two more premieres in the pipeline: “Once Upon A Time” will provide a breath of fresh air on October 30th, 2025, followed by “Murder on the Orient Express” on November 21st. The performance of “Die Fledermaus” is also still in the event calendar, with further dates on October 26th, November 12th, 14th, 21st and 23rd and December 5th. Tickets are available online so theater lovers can look forward to a fun-filled time!
The Schwerin theater tent seems to be as popular as ever. A visit there is certainly an experience for anyone who wants to enjoy the charming chaos and melodies of Johann Strauss.
