Synopsis

If there has been an "edit" somewhere on the music theatre scene since the dawn of the new millennium, which has been noted by the chroniclers as a tangible scandal - then the Salzburg festival production of the operetta "The Bat" by Johann Strauß, staged by Hans Neuenfels. Neuenfels, born in Krefeld in 1941 and long known as the "enfant terrible" of the theatre scene, was not the first within the reception history of the "bat" who dared to scratch their paint. This time there was not only an unconventional direction, but also serious interventions in the libretto. Neuenfels has written new dialogues, incorporating texts from other authors: Karl Kraus, Gottfried Benn, Hugo Ball. Conductor is Marc Minkowski.
