Johann Strauss: THE BAT (DIE FLEDERMAUS)

A critic writing for the Viennese newspaper Morgenpost after the world premiere in 1874 wrote: "... in the box of the Theater an der Wien one can get the most beautiful seasickness, so the ground floor sways to the enchanting notes that Johann Strauss's baton brings out of the orchestra. Everything here chirps, hums, sings and trills as in the middle of spring."
