"The Flying Dutchman" (in German, "Die Fledermaus") is an operetta in three acts by Johann Strauss II (October 25, 1825 – June 3, 1899), with a libretto by Karl Haffner and Richard Genée after the vaudeville "Le Rêveillon" written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. The premiere took place in Vienna at the "Theater an der Wien" on April 5, 1874.
Doctor Falke, the friend of Mr. Eisenstein, is plotting a farce to take revenge on him for an older story: after a masked ball, Eisenstein left Falke drunk in a public garden, dressed in a bat costume, to the mockery of the crowd, which is why Falke earned the nickname "The Bat".

About the "Ion Dacian" National Operetta and Musical Theatre
The "Ion Dacian" National Operetta and Musical Theatre was established in 1950 under the name of the State Operetta Theatre. The theatre is named after the famous tenor Ion Dacian, whose long career is associated with the Golden Age of Romanian Operetta.
From its inception, the operetta has enjoyed a favorable reception from the audience in Romania, the genre experiencing particularly high popularity, especially during the '70s and '80s.
In the new millennium, the Theatre has undergone a period of renewal and modernization. The changes primarily focused on improving the artistic and technical quality of productions, attracting new categories of audiences (especially young audiences), and shaping a new image of the Operetta that illustrates both its rich tradition and new future projects, aimed at transforming the Theatre into an important cultural center of the Capital.
The current repertoire of the "Ion Dacian" National Operetta and Musical Theatre includes musicals, operettas, concerts, gala events, as well as seasonal performances.
