Artefact
Die Fledermaus was the Northern School of Music's second opera, a chaotic comedy about mistaken identities and love scandals.
The school did pretty well. According to the Guardian review, it was “highly meritorious and not lacking in grace and sparkle,” especially since “the average professional performance of ‘Die Fledermaus‘ in this country rarely comes nearer to Vienna than Surbiton or Salford.” (Alright that's pretty rude.) The production’s direction ”did much to overcome the disadvantages of the small stage.”
