Opera Explained - Die Fledermaus is an audiobook that allows you to enjoy the music and story of the world's most famous operetta. From the explosive opening of the famous overture, reminiscent of the popping of champagne corks, to the energy of the "Fledermaus waltz" and the comedic numbers, such as the beautiful accelerando trio and the grand ensemble "Duidu" finale in the second act, this operetta is full of nostalgia. Thomson Smillie and David Timson bring Die Fledermaus to life in their study, including the most rewarding and memorable excerpts. Timson begins by saying, "Nostalgia, as the saying goes, 'may not be what it used to be', but luckily we still have Johann Strauss's Die Fledermaus!"
