At Prince Orlovsky's masquerade ball, everything is messed up by Doctor Bat... Husbands sentenced to prison, wives ready to cheat on their husbands, aspiring actresses hiding under masks. In the end, all the adventure and fun ends with a prison visit, but that's where the laughs begin! This champagne-driven grand operetta by J.J. Johann Strauss' magnum opus and, in keeping with tradition, it is the crowning glory of the winter holidays. Have fun with us and The Bat!

Hungarian State Opera
The Hungarian State Opera House is the only theatre in Hungary with a large company, specialising in operas and ballets. The building is one of Budapest's most important 19th century monuments. It was built in neo-Renaissance style according to the plans of Miklós Ybl. The richly decorated interior was designed by renowned Hungarian artists, including Mór Than, Károly Lotz and Bertalan Székely.
