The lively operetta by Johann Strauss was 1874 premiered and has since played over again. She is the highlight of the so-called golden age of operetta.
Rosalinde, her husband, Gabriel von Eisenstein, the maid Adele and Dr. Falcon playing a double game all. The one has a lover, the other is supposed to prison, one pretends to be an artist and Dr. Hawk plays them all a prank. Involved in it is the young Prince Orlofsky, who gives a masked ball, to meet all the protagonists.
Many twists and meanders obscure the view, who is who here, and what everyone wants to achieve individual. Highly amusing the whole thing finally comes to a furious finale.
Often this piece played on New Year's Eve or during Fasching.
