All in revenge for the time his best friend Eisenstein left him in the middle of town, passed out and dressed as a bat...Everyone who's anyone is going to be there. They just don't want each other to know. Eisenstein should be in prison so he's keeping a low profile, especially as police-chief Frank is also there in disguise. Eistenstein's wife, having left her former lover locked up in her husband's prison cell, is also keen to conceal her identity. Their maid Adele should be tending to her sick aunt, not partying with her sister. With the help of a bit of waltzing and copious amounts of champagne, everyone's identities will be exposed, and their philandering revealed.Cambridge University Opera Society's production places this much-loved farce in the privileged world of twenty-first century young socialites. Bubbling with infectious energy and fizzing with melodious charm, Strauss's Die Fledermaus will leave you as giggly as those onstage (champagne optional).

Check out our preview of ' I Found My Horn', which will be performed by the Marlowe Society at The ADC Theatre from Wednesday 18th May until Saturday 21st May 2011. Ever learnt a musical instrument? Then dropped it on leaving school? And secretly regretted it ever since? Then this is the show for you.A man wakes up at forty to a broken marriage, a beckoning bedsit, and the realisation that he has no legacy of any worth. Then he clambers into the attic...After a 25 year lay-off, Jasper Rees is seeking redemption via the sixteen feet of treacherous brass tubing he never mastered in his youth. Picking up his old French horn, he sets himself an impossible task: to perform a Mozart concerto in front of a paying audience of horn fanatics.“Don’t do it,” says his mentor. “It takes balls of Sheffield steel to play the French horn in public!”But for Jasper, there's no choice. It's now, or it’s never.Adapted from a best-selling book, previous productions have been called “irresistible” (Sunday Times), “delightful, warm, witty” (Mail on Sunday) and “inspiring, moving, and quite hilarious” (Classical Music Magazine). I Found My Horn comes to the ADC determined to remind you that it’s never too late to confront your demons.
